[R] Changing the position of the origin

[Kang Min]

Hi Daniel,

I'm sorry I wasn't clear. All my values are positive, and I'm plotting 
the map of a rectangular plot. I have all the x and y values of 
individual points, but the 0,0 point is at the top left hand corner of 
the plot. I have no problems plotting it with the 0,0 at the lower left 
hand corner, but how can I plot the map with 0,0 starting from the top 
left hand? If possible I don't want to have to make all my y-values 
negative.

Thanks,
Kang Min
