[R] Fwd: Re: Graph color

[Greg Snow]

the command:

> axis(4)

will put tickmarks and labels on the right, you may want to preceed the plot with something like:

> par(mar=c(5,4,4,4)+0.1)

see ?axis and ?par for details.

Hi Jim your suggestion doesn´t work properly. I have find some documents on
graphs so let me think till monday and if not I will detail where it fails.

Sorry again...I feel very silly, really, it is not a joke but I will
continue trying...

I have a question also, in a general plot (please if you can help me it
would be fantastic)

Imagine again a plot


> x <- rnorm(10)

> y <- rnorm(10)



If I plot(x,y)



it appears a scatter plot.

If you see y axis (the y axis on the left) has numbers. But the parallel
(imaginary)  y axis on the right appears only as a line (without the
numbers, the scale).

Do you know how to show the scale the same numbers in both (left and right
axis)? I think this way the graphs seem more simetrical.

Many thanks in advance.
