It was arbitrary data and I made a mistake. Thanks for your help nonetheless. I solved the problem using matpoints, which does the job quite nicely:
> lx100=c(1,1,1,.8,.5,.4,.2,0) > day100=c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) > lx90=c(1,1,1,1,.9,.8,.6,.4,.2,.1,0) > day90=c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) > lx0=c(1,1,1,1,1,1,.9,.9,.8,.8,.6,.5,.4,.3,.2,.1,.1,0) > day0=c(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17) > > lx = > cbindX(data.frame("100%"=lx100),data.frame("90%"=lx90),data.frame("0%"=lx0)) > day = > cbindX(data.frame("100%"=day100),data.frame("90%"=day90),data.frame("0%"=day0)) > > plot(x=dayC,y=lxC, type="n", xlab="Day of adult > life",ylab=lx,lwd=2.2,main=met,ylim=c(0.0,1)) > > matpoints(days,lx, col=heat.colors(3),lty=1,lwd=2,pch=16, type="b") > > On Nov 30, 10:27 am, Phil Spector <spec...@stat.berkeley.edu> wrote: > One of the reasons we ask for a *reproducible* example, is that > it allows us to test our ideas and make sure that all the details > are taken care of.
