Eh... How about all cases where you plot against one variable but want to show it in different units, e.g. temperature in degrees of Celsius/Centigrades on one and degrees on Fahrenheit on the other? I would say that is a case where you rather want to help the reader, not mislead her/him. -Henrik > > Hadley > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
