Hi Ogbos, The following code may get you close to what you want. I have used the names of the columns in "dta" as it is less confusing for me. I think you meant to request horizontal ablines as none appeared in the example. In order to get the axis tick label "Sun" you would have to increase the x axis limits beyond your data.
plot(dta$datetime,dta$B,type="l",axes=FALSE) # this is out of range and doesn't appear abline(h=-3,col="red") axis(2) plot(dta$datetime,dta$LAT,type="l",axes=FALSE) abline(h=-3,col="red") axis(2) plot(dta$datetime,dta$BX,type="l",axes=FALSE) abline(h=-3,col="red") axis(2) axis.POSIXct(1,dta$datetime,format="%a") mtext("A1", side = 1, outer = TRUE, line = 2.2) mtext("B1", side = 2, outer = TRUE, line = 2.2,at =0.2) mtext("B2", side = 2, outer = TRUE, line = 2.2,at =0.5) mtext("B2", side = 2, outer = TRUE, line = 2.2,at =0.8) Jim On Sat, May 2, 2020 at 2:47 AM Ogbos Okike <giftedlife2...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear Contributors, > I am trying to do a plot with multiple y-axis on a common x-axis.
