[R] get ylim of current plot()

[Dimitrios Rizopoulos]

I don't think you can obtain these values directly since  
plot.default() does not return something.

'ylim' is in fact calculated from xy.coords() as the range of the  
finite 'y' abscissa values; check the code of plot.default() for more  
info.

I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris
