Soapbox:
Well, if you're just starting out with R it would be
a VERY good idea to learn right away that T is not TRUE
and F is not FALSE, at least not always. Sooner or
later you WILL have problems. So do yourself a favour
and get into the habit of using TRUE/FALSE instead of T/F.

(I know that Petr knows better.)

Yes good point. However when I work interactively with command prompt I
often (well almost exclusively :-) use T/F instead of TRUE/FALSE as I am
lazy to type. It is necessary to keep habit not to use
T/F/c/matrix/vector/... as names for objects. So T can be used as
abbreviation for TRUE like

mean(x, na.rm=T)

as long as you do not define

T<- "Title"
mean(x, na.rm=T)
Error in if (na.rm) x<- x[!is.na(x)] :
   argument is not interpretable as logical


But note that

T <- 0
mean(x, na.rm=T)

will yield a more surprising result and that's the reason why you really should not even start to use F and T (neither for a logical value nor for a number).

at least until T/F is removed from such use by R developers

You can even try

?"T"

and you can read help page for that.

Hi

where did you find parameter add=T.

You can use

par(new=T)
before using new plot command

or use

points, lines

Regards
Petr
