See ?par and take note of the 'xaxs' and 'yaxs' parameters. By default,
these are set to 'r', where the axes are extended by 4% in each
direction. Thus, set one or both parameters to 'i' to set the axes to
exactly the ranges of xlim and/or ylim as you require.

See Frank Harrell's somers2() function in the Hmisc package on CRAN.
Among other things, it outputs a value "C", which is the AUC.
