[R] identifying what labels have been created in a plot

[Dennis Fisher]

Colleagues

R 2.8.0; OS X, Vista, Ubuntu Linux

In some instances, when I create a graphic using plot(XVAR, YVAR), it  
would be valuable to know the values that R will display on the y-axis  
(e.g., if the range of data is 0-70, it might display 0, 10, 30, 50,  
70).   Is there a simple means to access these values?

Also, in some instances, additional ticks appear between the displayed  
values (in this case, at 20, 40, 60).  Can I obtain the list of the  
positions of all ticks?

Access to this information permits me to tailor the ticks and labels  
in a particular manner.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Dennis
