R help - Nov 2012 - A Question About Plotting

Hallo there, I've got a simple question concerning a plot attempt of mine. I
am trying to plot two variables using the following code: # Creating a Graph
attach(Jitirana) plot(Sozialkapital, Migration)
abline(lm(Migration~Sozialkapital)) title("Regression of Sozialkapital on
Migration") Simple thing, but the problem lies in the fact that I keep
receiving a square plot depicting y on the left and the frequency on the right
side of the square. Well, in the plot shown on the Quick-R page the frequency is
on the left side and there is a line running right in the middle. Have anyone
got an idea as to where "my" keeps cropping up entirely different from
the example on the Quick-R page? Thanks in advance. Marcus Tullius

Marcus,

Best guess is one of those variables is a factor and you are thinking it is
numeric.

Please use
    dput(head(Jitirana))
and send the resulting exeutable statement.

Please control your email so that the lines are properly transmitted.
Your entire email came as one paragraph.

Please read the posting guide referenced in the trailer of all R-help
messages
