[R] ggplot2 - two or more axis

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Dear David,

You could put the numbers on the graph with geom_text()

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.

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.
