[R] abline going out of bounds

[Greg Snow]

How are you creating the plots before adding the line?  This sounds like you may be mixing graphics types (creating the plots with grid graphics (lattice or ggplot2) then using abline from the base graphics system) or using a plot function that plays with the graphics settings and leaves them in a different state from when the plotting was done (filled.contour is one such function).

If you can show us the code that you are seeing the problem with, then it will be easier for us to help.
