As I said before ..... You need to use the xlim argument to 'plot'. If you insist on using "plot" twice then you will need to use 'xlim=' twice, although I thought it would be easier to use `plo`t first and `lines` second. -- David. > > Thanks, > > Rebecca > > -----Original Message----- > From: David Winsemius [mailto:dwinsem...@comcast.net] > Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 2:34 PM > To: Yuan, Rebecca > Cc: R help > Subject: Re: [R] plot two time series with different length and different > starting point in one figure. > > > On Jan 22, 2013, at 7:07 AM, Yuan, Rebecca wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> I do have two different time series A and B, they are different in length >> and starting point.
