R help - Nov 2003 - (no subject)

I want to use the identify command when I have multiple plots on the
same page.  

 

For example if I use:

 

par(mfrows=c(2,1))

 

and then:

 

plot(x1,y1)

plot(x2,y2)

 

I get two plots on the same page, but if I use identify after this plot
set-up it can't find the data points.  I need someway to reference which
plot I want to identify as far as I can tell.  If I  just do one plot at
a time identify works fine.  Is there any other way to just label all
the data points?

 

Thanks

Using split.screen should enable you to go back to earlier plots, with the
coordinate system you used.  I was able to amend the example of
split.screen to identify on the first plot, for example.  As far as I 
recall this works imperfectly with log axes.
