I have, say, three plots with several medical terms on the y-axis plotted against HR's on a log-scaled x-axis. In order to highlight the time profile for the different plots, I would like to "merge" (put them next to each other, if that makes sense) together the log scaled x-axises and present the data in a single plot. How to do it? Using par(mfrow=c(1,3)) seems to waste too much printing area. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance! Cheers, Patrik [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I would first think of using the "text" function to place the medical terms, perhaps with the "arrow" function showing a range. It may be simpler to use the "boxed.labels" function in the plotrix package to overlay the ranges. Jim
Can you supply us with a bit of sample data? It's not clear from your description of the problem if you are working with equivalent x -scales where it would be very easy to just plot all curves on one plot or if there are scale or item differences that might require diffferent panels. https://github.com/hadley/devtools/wiki/Reproducibility John Kane Kingston ON Canada> -----Original Message----- > From: patrik.ohagen at mpa.se > Sent: Thu, 16 May 2013 11:50:20 +0000 > To: r-help at r-project.org > Subject: [R] Three plots with logged X-axis in the same plot > > I have, say, three plots with several medical terms on the y-axis plotted > against HR's on a log-scaled x-axis.

You might also want to leave off the boxes around the plots; use bty="n" for that. For example, x <- rnorm(100) oldmargins <- par("mar") mar <- oldmargins mar[c(2,4)] <- c(2.1, 0.1) # shrink the sides par(mar=mar, mfrow=c(1,3)) plot(x, bty="n") plot(x, bty="n") plot(x, bty="n") Duncan Murdoch> > Any suggestions? > > Thank you in advance! > > Cheers, Patrik > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Okay so you do want independent panels.
When I asked for sample data it does not have to be anything real. All we need
is something that has a similar data structure. We can do the same type of graph
with earhquake data, medical data or voter response.
Just substite random names for the med terms and use a random number generator
for the meaurements. This , length of vectors in different matrices or
dataframes, etc are the crucial bits of information. The actual data is really
immaterial.
For example here are two different data structures with the "almost the
same data but in different formats and with an important difference between
dat1$aa and dat2$aa.
dat1 <- structure(list(aa = structure(1:5, .Label = c("a",
"b", "c",
"d", "e"), class = "factor"), bb =
c(-0.00582694254724667, -0.716808619114487,
0.0333078304958157, 0.382137504304074, -1.07626847615088)), .Names =
c("aa",
"bb"), row.names = c(NA, -5L), class = "data.frame")
dat2 <- structure(list(aa = c("a", "b", "c",
"d", "e"), bb = c(0.149330272058851,
0.4024610008935, -1.10212110787262, -0.603049153794929, 0.894804687148742
)), .Names = c("aa", "bb"))
str(dat1)
str(dat2)
