<h2>Create a Viewport with Scales based on Data</h2>


<h3>Description</h3>

<p>
This is a convenience function for producing a viewport with
x- and/or y-scales based on numeric values passed to the function.
</p>


<h3>Usage</h3>

<pre>
dataViewport(xData = NULL, yData = NULL, xscale = NULL,
             yscale = NULL, extension = 0.05, ...)
</pre>


<h3>Arguments</h3>

<table summary="R argblock">
<tr valign="top"><td><code>xData</code></td>
<td>
A numeric vector of data. </td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>yData</code></td>
<td>
A numeric vector of data. </td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>xscale</code></td>
<td>
A numeric vector (length 2). </td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>yscale</code></td>
<td>
A numeric vector (length 2). </td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td><code>extension</code></td>
<td>
A numeric.  If length greater than 1, then
first value is used to extend the xscale and second value
is used to extend the yscale.
</td></tr>

All other arguments will be passed to a call to
the <code>viewport()</code> function. </td></tr>

by the proportion specified in <code>extension</code>.  Similarly for the
y-scale.
