Thanks for the reply. I must clarify the too-terse original posting.
When 2D-plotted axes don't intersect at (0,0), let's leave the display
untouched EXCEPT for dashing the axis that's neither x=0 nor y=0 (the
"offending" axis).
Although this can be done for any specific plot, is there a general way to
auto-detect when the displayed origin isn't (0,0) and if so, dash the
offending axis (or axes)? Perhaps a startup package that maintains
vigilence, or maybe creating a $Post statement?
