Hello there, 

Is there a functionality or command that generates axes in the shape of a capital Greek letter gamma (upside down L) ? I use these for making sediment profiles. I have read through help-lists, tried different things and asked several people but never got a satisfactory result. 
I've tried the following:

xx <- c(2,4,6,5.8,5,4,3,1.5,0, 0, 0, 0)
yy <- (0:-11)
plot(NULL, NULL, ylab="depth (cm)", xlim=c(0,8), ylim=c(-12,1), las=1, xaxt="n", bty="n", xlab="")
axis(3)
points(xx, yy, pch=19, col=2)
mtext(3, text="concentration", line=2.5)

Not bad, but a bit complicated for such a seemingly simple thing...also, the axes do not intersect, something I would like them to do as in the bty="l" command. I hope anyone knows a more elegant solution...
