Assuming Perfil is a data frame, you can do all of this in a
single matplot call. E.g.:

# prepare some example data
x <- 1:25
df <- data.frame(w1=x, w2=x+0.5, h1=x^2, h2=3*x+1.3)

# use matplot to graph all data at once
matplot(df[,c('w1','w2')], df[,c('h1','h2')], type='l', lty=c('solid', 'dotted'))
