R help - Aug 2007 - two plots super-impose

Dear R users,

I used plot(x,y) to draw a scatter plot. I need to add another smaller
histogram on the same plot I just had. However when I used hist(y), the
histogram was on another page. 

Any suggestion?

Best Regards,

Philip

Hi Philip,

par(new=TRUE) before your hist(y) lines should do the trick.

You may have to modify some settings in case the axes are not overlayed 
perfectly.

It's not clear exactly what you want, but you may want to look at the
layout function, or the subplot function in the TeachingDemos package.
