Very much a rookie at R, and have only recently started using it again so pardon the simple question. I am trying to produce a box plot from one data set and then overlay a line plot from another data set. The box plot data set is made up of 20 sets of 30 data points, or 600 total data points. The line has only 30 total data points. The box plot is plotting fine, but for some reason, the line plot is starting at the 6th data position and running off the screen. I tried modifying the text file so that the data repeated it self 30 times to make the total number of lines in the file identical, but that did not help! Here are my two datasets.....
temp.final.text <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4643736/temp.final.text> tmax.final.text <http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4643736/tmax.final.text> And here is my script.... R --save --no-save --vanilla << EOF pdf(file="boxplot_tmax_$YYYY$MM$DD${HH}.pdf", height=10, width=12) soton.df = read.table ("tmax.final.text", header=TRUE) gfs.df = read.table ("greg.txt", header=TRUE) boxplot (TMAX ~ HOUR, data=soton.df, xlab="Forecast Hour", ylab="MAX TEMP", main="GEFS $YYYY$MM$DD ${HH}Z FORECAST MAX TEMPS", whiskcol="red", col="red", outline=TRUE, ylim=c(0,100),xlim=c(1,30),xaxs="i",yaxs="i") lines (data=gfs.df, type="o", col="green") par(new=TRUE) abline(h=seq(0,100,by=5),lty=2) abline(v=seq(1,30,by=1),lty=2) EOF Thanks for helping me out! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Line-over-Boxplot-tp4643736.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@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.
