hi: I think I have finally reached some tough(er) graphics questions, so help would be appreciated. * In an ordinary log xy plot, I have two lines lines( poslowess( x1, y1, f=0.11 ) ); lines( poslowess( x1, y2, f=0.11 ) ); y1 and "y2" are actually a "best" and "worst" scenario. So, I am wondering whether it is tough/easy to shade the area between the two lines. * I have a historical rate of stock return series (yes, I teach finance). I would like to make a ts plot on the left (plot(date,returns,type="h")), and a plot(density(returns)) on the right. works nicely with par(mfrow=c(1,2)), but it would be even nicer if I could rotate the density plot 90 degrees, so that it is more apparent that the density plot is an aggregation of the points at the same y coordinates. (if need be, a histogram could replace the density plot.) Is it possible to rotate an entire figure. the "horizontal" parameter to ps.options is not an option for plot afaik. * on an easier question, I got beat: how do I make the tickmarks appear *inside* the graph, and shrink the distance between the tick text and the tick axis? help appreciated. apologies for imposing on everyone's time. regards, /iaw
