Hi Josh and David,
Problem solved. Both following steps work. 1) > ToothGrowth > attach(ToothGrowth) > plot(dose,len) # this step is needed. Don't close the diagram. Otherwise >following command won't work. > matrics=lm(len~dose) > abline(matrics) Graph displayed 2) > ToothGrowth > attach(ToothGrowth) > plot(dose, len) # this step is needed. Don't close the diagram. Otherwise >following command won't work. > abline(lm(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth)) Graph displayed B.R.

Please actually run my code, it will create a scatter plot, then add a line. Do not close the graphic device in between. with(ToothGrowth, plot(dose, len)) abline(lm(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth)) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
