Use par(xaxs="d", yaxs="d") is a better way to `lock' the scales (and you 
should omit the axes and annotations on subsequent plots).

?matplot

However, my understanding is that those three functions are unlikely to 
share a common scale (likelihood being different from the other two) so
either two scales will be needed or the likelihood would need to rescaled.
