Many thanks to Peter Dalgaard BSA and Uwe Uwe Ligges for their prompt
responses. It turns out xaxp can not be set by par(xaxp = c(x1, x2, n)) as
indicatedd in Help for 'par' document. Both pointed me to the right
direction by setting axes = F or xaxt = "n" in plot() and using axis(1,
seq=c(0,150,15)) to produce an axis with desired intervals.
