Thanks for your answers I'm going to share my script and my database in an excel file, where you can check the kind of graph I would like to make (see attached document, you can find it in Sheet1. Sheet 3 is the one that I used in .csv format to work with in R).
Script: # HYDROGRAPH SEPARATION ANALYSIS FOR EVENTS: JULY 9TH AND SEPT 11TH # Event 20. July 9th, 2015 setwd("C:\\Users\\Asus\\Desktop\\MSc Thesis - INIRENA\\R\\Downloads") dir() # Ev20HS: P event 20. Hydrograph separation Ev20HS <- read.table("Event20_Hydrograph_Separation.txt", skip=4, header=FALSE, stringsAsFactors=FALSE) as.data.frame(Ev20HP) colnames(Ev20HS)<- c("Date","Hour","P", "Qt", "St2H", "P2H", "GW2H", "St18O", "P18O", "GW18O", "Qold2H", "Qnew2H", "%old2H", "%new2H", "Qold18O", "Qnew18O", "%old18O", "%new18O") paste(Ev20HS$Date, Ev20HS$Hour) Ev20HS$date.time <- paste(Ev20HS$Date, Ev20HS$Hour) as.POSIXct(Ev20HS$date.time, format="%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S", tz="-7") Ev20HS$date.time <- as.POSIXct(Ev20HS$date.time, format="%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S", tz="-7") par(mar=c(4, 4, 4, 4)) plot(Ev20HS$date.time, Ev20HS$P, type="h", axes= FALSE, col="cadetblue4", ylim=c(10,0), lwd=2, xlab= "Hour", xline= 1.5, ylab = " ") axis (4, lwd= 1) mtext (4, line=2, text="P (mm)") par(new=T) plot(Ev20HS$date.time, Ev20HS$Qt, type="l", col="deepskyblue", lwd=2, ylim=c(0,0.02), xlab= " ", ylab = " ") axis (2, lwd= 1) mtext (2, line=2.25, text="Q (mm/10min)") par(new=T) plot(Ev20HS$date.time, Ev20HS$Qold2H, type="l", axes= FALSE, col="sienna3", lwd=2, ylim=c(0,0.02), xlab= " ", ylab = " ") cord.x <- c(7, 7, 13, 13) cord.y <- c(0.00223742, 0.00238599, 0.01043445, 0.00970288) polygon(cord.x, cord.y, col="steelblue3") I want to plot in the same graph: a) Precipitation (P) as a barplot (downwards) --> DONE b) Total discharge in Stream (Qt) --> DONE c) Discharge of groundwater, i.e. old component (Qold2H) --> The space between Qt and Qold2H needs to be shaded with one colour, and the space between Qold2H and x-axes needs to be shaded as well. Another question, is there any option to make these curves smoother? I don't really like those ugly peaks.
