I am trying to plot three graphs on top of each other. I need to have the axises perfectly aligned. For some reason the ticks on the y axes are slightly off so they do not perfectly align. Can someone tell me how I can get the to overlay each other perfectly? I thought the yaxp parameter would solve my problem, but it does not. My data and code follows:

> summaryresults[1:20,]
      Slope PctCont PctCat PctTTst
 [1,]  0.05     7.4    5.6     6.3
