Hello David, If I use plot with the following code:
plot(A, type = "o", col = plot_colors[plotcolor], axes = FALSE, ann = FALSE) par(new=TRUE) plot(B, type = "o", col = plot_colors[plotcolor+1], axes = FALSE, ann = FALSE) box() I will have the two series in one plot, but they are only from March,2012 to Nov, 2012, the nonoverlapping months are dropped out... I know in Matlab that I can specify the x axis such as Plot(timeofA, A) Hold on; Plot(timeofB, B) to get them in the same figure, but in R, I do not know how to do it.

You could set the xlim argument to c( min(timeA, timeB), max(timeA, timeB) ) in the `plot` of either of the series and then use `lines` for the other series, perhaps with a different color argument. -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message, and any attachments, is for the intended r...{{dropped:2}} ______________________________________________ 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.
