Way outside my area but I think, well "guess" that the two panel approach is better since it should give you more discrimination or easily visualized detail for each variable but clearly Jim's suggestion will work too.
Otherwise, get a sleeping bag and order in some food. It could be a long night/week. Good luck.

There is one more idea from Jim Lemon which can also help. In my case I am dealing with a sys. admin who thinks the JVM is using all the memory in the linux machine. I think it is http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [http://www.linuxatemyram.com/] syndrome. So if the junior sys. admin loses perspective I will never be released from this assignment :-) So I am gathering 'pmap' output and plotting Total size(Kbytes) and Resident Size(RSS) of the JVM.

It was not clear to me that they were the same units for one thing. From my point of view (essentially total ignorance) if you have a situation where you have data plotted with the same set of units it's even dicier to use a two scale plot. You are just demanding too much of the reader to figure out which line is which and remember that the line attached to the right axis is 10^3 of the values of the left access. My solution would probably be to just stack the two graphs one on top of the other , with the top graph having the 'higher' values. However it is a judgement call and also dependent on the discipline. Anyway see the quick and dirty attempt attached to see what I am suggesting.

Both 'Kbytes' and 'RSS' use the same unit. Thanks, Mohan From: John Kane <jrkrid...@inbox.com> To: mohan.radhakrish...@polarisft.com Cc: r-help@r-project.org Date: 08/27/2013 05:13 PM Subject: RE: [R] Scale of axis for two data sets Still looks like a constant to me :) I think I see what you mean though. It's just that representation of the numbers in the email don't show any difference. Personally I think I'd go with a two panel graph using par() rather than a double-axis graph if you can. Everything I have read about double-axis graphs is rather negative. However, I know they are standard in some disciplines.

Actually it should be like this.

Why are you graphing against a constant?
