Dear Greg,

thank you again for your help.

The graph looks much better now. However, I need the bars to be assigned to 
the left y-axis, and the lines should be assigned to the right y-axis (the 
y-axes have different ranges,e.g. left y-axis 0-20, and right y-axis 0-1). 
Also would be nice if the bars had contour lines (more like the barplot)... 
would that be possible?

Thank you so much again.

Anne-Katrin

Barplot is probably not the best way here  (it is possible, but more work 
than it is worth).                 Here is one approach that gives 
something  similar to what you want:                 plot(x, y, lend=1, 
lwd=25, ylim=c(-1,10),  xlim=c(0.75,5.25),type='h', 
 col='grey')
lines(x, y2)                 Is that good enough? or do you need the bars 
to look much more like  the barplot?

        Dear Greg, dear all,

thank you for your reply!
To clarify, here  is an example of what I want to do (but better, of  
course!):


x<-      c(1,2,3,4,5)
y<-     0:4
y2<-    c(0,0,7,8,9)

barplot(y ,ylim=c(-1,10), ylab="", xaxt="n",yaxt="n",  main="")
axis(4,at=c(1,2,3,4,5,6))
text(6,2.9, "2nd y-axis", srt = 270,  xpd = TRUE)
par(new=TRUE)
plot(x, y2, lty=2,type="l", xlab="x-axis", ylab=  "y-axis")


I dont think "barplot" is the right thing to use here since  I cant specify 
the x-values....what can I do to make this graph look better?  

Regards, 
Anne-Katrin


                        Using par(new=TRUE) can be  tricky.                
 A better approach is to create one plot,  then add the other information 
to it.  You can add bars to an existing  graph using barplot with 
add=TRUE, you can add lines to an existing plot using  the lines function.  
               If you give more detail of what you want  (examples of x, 
y, and ynew) then we may be able to give more  help.

Subject: [R] two graphs in  one figure?

                
Dear all,

how can I plot a line graph and a bar graph in  one single figure? I tried
to combine "barplot" and "plot". Even though they  both have the same
x-values (1 to 55),  it just doesnt look as if they  match in their scale
(the barplot is much wider than the "plot"....even  though I tried to put
limits on the x-axis).
Here is an example of what I  did:

barplot(y, xaxt="n",yaxt="n",ylim=c(-1,45),  xlim=c(1,55))
...
par(new=TRUE)
plot(x, ynew, lty=2, type="l",  ylim=c(0,15), xlim=c(1,55))

Another question: how can I make sure that  the "0"-values from the 
barchart
are displayed as well?

Thank you so  much!

Anne-Katrin
