[R] Tick marks for abline

[ben@zoo.ufl.edu]

  I'm a little bit puzzled by your requirements.  If you want just x and y
axes and not the top and right sides of the box plotted you could try
par(bty="l") [which I actually prefer as my default setting].  
Alternately, you can use axis() with side=1 or side=2 to draw the axis
after doing the main plot (and control ticks, labels, style, etc.).  If
neither of these do what you want you could (masochistically) try figuring
out exactly where you want all your ticks and use segments() to draw them.
Or, if what you need to do is suppress labels on the axes, you can use
ann=FALSE in plot (?plot.default).
  You can also look at box(), par(bty), and par(xaxs), par(yaxs) for
information about where and how the axes are plotted.  ?par contains an
enormous amount of information, but it's worth going through every so
often for ideas.
