[R] help function axis

[William Dunlap]

axis(), like many of R's add-to-a-plot functions, does
not warn if you ask then to add things whose positions
are out of the bounds of the current plot.

> plot(1:10,101:110)
> axis(side=3, at=11:12, lab=c("Eleven", "Twelve")) # all out of bounds
> axis(side=4, at=c(105,115), lab=c("CX", "CXV")) # second out of bounds
> lines(c(0,1),c(0,1)) # line is completely out of bounds

Use par("usr") or draw the default axes (omit axes=FALSE in plot())
to see what the current bounds are.
