[R] Automaticall adjust axis scales

[William Dunlap]

Or look at the xlim and ylim arguments to plot.  E.g.,

> x1 <- 1:10 ; x2 <- 11:17 ; x3 <- 21:23
> plot(NA, NA, xlim=range(1, length(x1), length(x2), length(x3)), ylim=range(x1, x2, x3), type="n", xlab="", ylab="")
> points(x1, type="b")
> lines(x2)
> points(x3)
> title(xlab="The X Values", ylab="The Y Values")
