[R] Question about setting tick mark limits in Plot

[Spencer Graves]

How about the following: 

p <- seq(0, 240, len=2198)
q. <- rep(1, len=2198)

plot(p,q., pch="|", yaxt="n", xaxt="n",
     xlab="Minutes", ylab="")
axis(1, seq(0, 240, 30))

      Note:  "q" is a system function, so I changed it to "q.". 

      hope this helps.  spencer graves
