[R] two graphs 1 x-axis

[Paul Hiemstra]

Hi Naomi,

Take a look at the lattice package for plotting. An example using your data:

library(lattice)
library(reshape)
a<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6)
b<-c(3,5,4,6,1,1)
c<-c(1,1,1,1,1,1)
bla = data.frame(a,b,c)
# melt is from reshape
bla2 = melt(bla, id.vars = "a")
xyplot(value~a | variable, bla2,
    layout = c(1,2),
    strip  = strip.custom(factor.levels = c("a vs b", "a vs c")))
?melt
?xyplot

xyplot takes care that the axis are equal, no need to set it yourself. 
Lattice is a bit harder to get to know than the 'normal' plotting system 
in R, but is great for multivariate data.

cheers and good luck,
Paul
