`when graphing' means what? Some graphics devices, e.g. postscript and pdf support families. X11() does not in 1.8.1 but will in 1.9.0, due early April. > (ii) How can I make ticks point inwards on all four sides of a plot? Is > it possible to have minor and major ticks? Their height (including direction) is controlled by par's tcl and tck -- this is in `An Introduction to R'. See ?par. You cna get major and minor ticks by calling axis twice with different par values, if I understand you aright. > (iii) How would I specify a symbol "\sim" (i.e. "~") in a mathematical > expression?

Try demo(plotmath) for what is supported. \sim is just a character in the symbol font, but I don't know how to access those directly. -- Brian D.
