I think this part is what's not transferable to a smaller range of
y-values.

par("usr")[3] will be much smaller when ylim goes to only 2 instead of
70.  Subtract 2 from that, and you have a very different kettle of
fish.

Without knowing anything about myobject1 and myobject2 I could be
completely ooff the mark, of cours.
