Please actually run my code, it will create a scatter plot, then add a line. Do not close the graphic device in between. with(ToothGrowth, plot(dose, len)) abline(lm(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth)) ______________________________________________ [email protected] 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.
