If the problem is to center the labels on the right y axis then try this: plot(Zf$z1, ylim=c(0,signif(max(na.omit(Zf$z1)*1.05),2)), xlab="") lines(Zf$z2*multipl.z2, lty=2) at4 <- axTicks(4) axis(4, at = at4, at4/20) abline(h = at4, lty = "dotted", col="grey") ______________________________________________ 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.
