Thank you again, Joh Based on your code seems I solved the problem. new code as follows: cs<-expression(delta[1], delta[2]) plot(sigma, delta1, ylim=range(-0.5, 2), xlab='sigma', ylab='delta', pch=22, type='o') points(sigma, delta2, col='red', axes=FALSE, type='o') legend("topleft", cs, pch = c(21, 22), lty=1, col=2:1)
only concern is there is a waring message in R: Warning message: In plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), type = type, ...) : "axes" is not a graphical parameter gcheer3 wrote: > > a graph question.
