R help - Oct 2009 - two plots on the same axis

Good morning. I wish to plot two data on the same axis. I tried plot(x,y,
type = "l") for the first and tried to use lines or points(x,y, lty =
2, col
= 4) to add or plot the second data on alongside the first. However, what I
got was not encouraging.
I have attached the two data and would be pleased if anybody could be of
help.
Thank you
Best regards
Ogbos

>From summaries of your data you have 2 files with year no in first, month 
in second, day in third and some value in fourth column. The value from 
year 2006 is greater than the value in 2005. 

For accommodating all 4.column data you need to set correct range by ylim.
And if you use lines on non sorted values it can result in clump of lines. 
You could maybe consult ?aggregate and or ?supsmu

However only you know what you want as an x values and as an y values.

Petr

Hi,

Your two data sets have a different year so I'm not sure what you want
to do with the x axis.

The code below plots both data sets on the same graph, with a range of
two years,


d1 <- read.table("~/Downloads/2005.txt")
d2 <- read.table("~/Downloads/2006.txt")


cleanup <- function(d){
  names(d) <- c("year", "month", "day",
"value")
  transform(d, date=as.Date(paste("0", year, month, day,
sep=""), "%y%m%d"))
}

d1 <- cleanup(d1)
d2 <- cleanup(d2)

d <- rbind(d1, d2)
d <- transform(d, year=factor(year))

with(d, plot(date,value))

# prettier with ggplot2
library(ggplot2)
qplot(date, value, data=d, colour=year)

Hi Ogbos,
Try this:

plot(oo1$daymon,oo1[,4],
  main="Two years of
something",type="l",col="blue",
  ylim=c(3300,4400))
  lines(oo2$daymon,oo2[,4],col="red")
legend(oo1$daymon[100],3600,c("2005","2006"),
  col=c(4,2),lty=1)
