When "pairs" draws plots, "lower.panel" invokes "f.xy". Maybe there is something in "f.xy" incompatible with "pairs". You can read the code of "pairs" to see what happens.

"pairs" has two methods, as you can see in the help message (?pairs). According to your code, pairs is supposed to invoke "Default S3 method".
> methods(pairs)
[1] pairs.default  pairs.formula*
   Non-visible functions are asterisked
Therefore, you should check the code of the function "pairs.default" to see how error occurs. Just type "pairs.default" at the R command prompt and enter, you can get the source code of "pairs.default".

Hi Dejian,

You're right on this!  Do you know how to pass those two argument into
lower.panel?  Thanks!

Subject: Re: [R] "pairs" with same xlim and ylim scale

I think you have successfully passed the "xlim" and "ylim" into the
function pairs1. Compare the two graphs produced by the codes you
provided, you can find the xlim and ylim in the second graph have been
reset to the assigned value. It seems that the program halted in
producing the second plot after adding xlim and ylim. According to the
error message, the two added parameters were not used in lower.panel, or
the customized function f.xy.

Hi list,

I have a function which basically is a wrapper of pairs with some useful panel
functions.  However, I'm having trouble to pass the "xlim" and "ylim" into the
function so the x and y axes are in the same scale and 45 degree lines are
exactly diagonal.   I've looked at some old posts, they didn't help much.  I
