I would ask this on the r-help list...

Subject: [R-SIG-Finance] Two x and two y vectors in one X-Y coordinate
	system graph


Hi all,
I have two line graphs drawn with two different pairs of x and y vectors.
The sample dataset is given below. Here, I have two X vectors assuming positive values. 
Only one of the y vectors assumes positive values, while the other y vector assumes negative values.

I am able to plot them as separate graphs using :
pdf("plot.pdf", height=9, width=6)
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(y=y1, x=x1, lwd=2, col="blue", type="l")
plot(y=y2, x=x2, lwd=2, col="red", type="l")
dev.off()
but would like to plot them on one graph in a X-Y coordinate system setup . 
The idea is to somehow flip one of the curves to the third quadrant of the X-Y coordinate space while the other curve is in the first quadrant. 
How do I plot the two graphs in one figure ??? 
Any help would be highly useful.
