I don't know what you mean with "two-line graphs", maybe we can help, if
you specify your request more precisely, after reading the docs.

 ?axis
   Adds an axis to the current plot, allowing the specification 
   of the side, position, labels, and other options.

 ?xyz.coords
   Utility for obtaining consistent x, y and z coordinates 
   and labels for three dimensional (3D) plots. 

This function is designed to be used inside 3D-Plot functions. 
Since you know about this function: Your version of R is >= 1.1.0?

Hmm. What about
 plot(..., type="l")
or adding some lines using
 lines(...)
or
 segments(...)

What you should do at first is reading  "An Introduction to R", "R FAQ"
and the help files for ?plot, ?par and friends.

I think graphical quality in R is very enhanced! What is your way of
printing / exporting the graphics? And what OS?
