<FONT COLOR="#000000">Hi Gabor,</FONT><BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">Thanks for the suggestion. All three methods mentioned so far seem reasonable. It looks like I need to familiarize myself more with how the graphics work in R, as it is not clear to me how you would mix and match calls from different packages (admittedly I haven't tried yet).</FONT><BR>
<BR>
<FONT COLOR="#000000">Do people generally stick to one graphics/charting package and work off that or is the mix and match paradigm generally acceptable? I'm curious to know what the agreed upon best practices are.</FONT><BR>

<FONT COLOR="#000000">Thanks,</FONT><BR>
