R help - Jul 2011 - Question re the plotrix package

Dear list,

I am using the ?clock24.plot command in this excellent package to plot animal
activity data.

Does anyone know if both symbols and a line can be plotted on the same plot to
show both raw data (symbols) and a line (describing a statistical model of the
pattern) ? Or if more than one line etc can be plotted?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,
Amazingly enough, yes. I didn't think it would, but try this (modified 
from the examples):

testlen<-rnorm(24)*2+5
testpos<-0:23+rnorm(24)/4
clock24.plot(testlen,testpos,
  main="Test Clock24 (symbols and lines)",
  point.col="blue",rp.type="s",lwd=3)
clock24.plot(testlen,testpos,rp.type="p",add=TRUE)
