Re: [R] having more than one plot in one figure

2010-04-21 Thread Jannis
Where is the problem with your code? You seem to have understood the 
principle correct and all what you want to to is possible with your 
code. You only seem to have made some typos (or is there any other 
reason why you plot num1 twice?), otherwise I do not really understand 
why you can not add num3 and change the plot type to 'b'?

Hi All,

I have been trying to plot multiple line plots with different colors on one

connected with lines but was not able to do that for cat vs num2 and I do
not know how to add the third plot cat vs num3. below is my code


df <- data.frame(cat=1:10, num1=rnorm(10), num2=rnorm(10), num3=rnorm(10))
plot(df$num1, type="b", col="red", xlab="categories", ylab="random numbers")
points(df$num1, type="p", pch=21, col="red",bg="red")#plot "num1" 
points(df$num2, type="p", pch=21, col="green")   #plot "num2" 
legend(x="topright", legend=c("num1", "num2"), pch=c(16,16),
col=c("red","green"))#add a legend 



how to make the second plot of type="b" and how to add a  third plot cat vs
num3?

I appreciate your help

Add the x values since points does not have exactly the same default  
behavior when given just one vector for plotting:


df <- data.frame(cat=1:10, num1=rnorm(10), num2=rnorm(10),  
num3=rnorm(10))
plot(df$num1, type="b", col="red", xlab="categories", ylab="random  
numbers")
points(1:10, df$num2, type="b", pch=21, col="red",bg="red")#plot  
"num1"

points(1:10, df$num3, type="b", pch=21, col="green")   #plot "num2"
legend(x="topright", legend=c("num1", "num2"), pch=c(16,16),
col=c("red","green"))#add a legend

If you want to have all of the random point visible than use range(c(df 
$num1, df$num2, df$num3) as your argument to ylim.





how to make the second plot of type="b" and how to add a  third plot  
cat vs

num3?


I don't understand why you did not look at the help page for points  
and realize that type="b" would work.




I appreciate your help
