[R] Trying to get xlim to do what I want

[Ian Wilson]

plot(x,y,ylim=c(0,800),xlim=c(0,2000)),xaxs="i", yaxs="i");

see help(par) for details
the relevant bit is:

xaxs 
The style of axis interval calculation to be used for the x-axis. Possible
values are "r", "i", "e", "s", "d". The styles are generally controlled by
the range of data or xlim, if given. 
Style "r" (regular) first extends the data range by 4 percent and then
finds an axis with pretty labels that fits within the range. 
Style "i" (internal) just finds an axis with pretty labels that fits within
the original data range. 
Style "s" (standard) finds an axis with pretty labels within which the
original data range fits. 
Style "e" (extended) is like style "s", except that it is also ensured that
there is room for plotting symbols within the bounding box. 
Style "d" (direct) specifies that the current axis should be used on
subsequent plots. (Only "r" and "i" styles are currently implemented)
