[R] ggplot2 - two or more axis

[David Hajage]

Thank you very much for the answer.

I have seen very often the number of subject at risk on survival graph (see
my pdf file). It is very easy to plot the curve with geom_step(), but is
there a better way to show the number of subjects at risk at each time ?

Thank you for your advice.
