Here's a version using reshape and ggplot: mydata <- read.table("http://ca.geocities.com/jrkrideau/R/heartdata.txt", sep="\t", header=FALSE)
mydata[,1] <- as.Date(mydata[,1],"%m/%d/%y") names(mydata) <- c("dates", "sy","dys","pulse", "weight") molten <- melt(mydata, m = c("sy", "dys")) qplot(dates, value, data=molten, geom="line", colour=variable) + geom_smooth(method=lm) ggplot has somewhat better defaults for dates in this case. See http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/scale_date.html for how to tweak the defaults.
