I believe you may be able to find 'ggplot2' hacks that deliver double ordinate 
plots but Hadley Wickham has an intense aversion to such plots, so you won't 
find them in standard `gglot2` functions. Do a search on StackOverflow and in 
the archives. I cannot remember the names of the functions or the authors, but 
I do remember experiencing the heresy of double ordinates within the vaulted 
arches the Church of GGplot.

And you should learn to post in plain text.
