[R] curve() doesn't seem to use the whole range of x? And Error: longer object length is not a multiple of shorter object length

[Greg Snow]

If your goal is to visualize the predicted curve from an lm fit (or
other model fit) then you may want to look at the Predict.Plot and
TkPredict functions from the TeachingDemos package.
