R help - May 2014 - cumulative frequency distribution combined with histogram in one plot at two different scales

Hi,

I amtrying to plot a cfd with a histogram on one plot. The problem is the
scale (y-axis) of the plots are hugely different and as a result the
histogram plot is hard to read. Are there any examples of plots like this
done in R:

Thanks

Shane,

Do you have code to create each plot separately?

If so, you can use par(new=TRUE) to overlay a second plot over the first
with a different y-axis scale.  See, for example,

Hi Shane,
Try this:

mmp<-c(4,23,38,33,6,6,6,2,1,0,1,0)
cmmp<-cumsum(mmp)
dft<-seq(0,550,by=50)
library(plotrix)
twoord.plot(lx=dft,ly=mmp,rx=dft,ry=cmmp,
 type=c("bar","b"),halfwidth=25,lcol=NA)
