How can I remove plot margins between the axes of the plot and the plot contents in R?

Question

I want to remove the space between the axes of the plot and the plot contents themselves. Any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Look at the parameters `xaxs` and `yaxs` (under `?par`). By default the axis contains the data range plus 4% on either side. If you override the parameter, then you can get an axis exactly equal to the data range. Cf:

```
> curve(x^2)

> curve(x^2, xaxs="i", yaxs="i")
```
