##### Extend a Numerical Range by a Small Percentage

Extends a numerical range by a small percentage, i.e., fraction, on both sides.

Keywords
dplot
##### Usage
extendrange(x, r = range(x, na.rm = TRUE), f = 0.05)
##### Arguments
x

numeric vector; not used if r is specified.

r

numeric vector of length 2; defaults to the range of x.

f

positive number(s) specifying the fraction by which the range should be extended. If longer than one, f[1] is used on the left, and f[2] on the right.

##### Value

A numeric vector of length 2, r + c(-f1,f2) * diff(r), where f1 is f[1] and f2 is f[2] or f if it is of length one.

range; pretty which can be considered a sophisticated extension of extendrange.
