When I create the following plot I get unwanted space between the plotting area and the axis (i.e. the white space between the blue box and the x axis. How can I remove this
plot(c(1,2.75),c(1,2.75),type="n",main="title",xlab="site.x",ylab="ylab",axes=F) # ann axis(1,pos=1) axis(2,pos=1)
All axes are remove then you can add new axes to the pos you want.
