Dear R help list, I have a plot with two different vertical scales that I want to display on either side of the plot. It's quite similar to the Fahrenheit-Centigrade example in the examples section of the documentation for axis.default.
The right-side axis is clipped off, though, and I haven't been able to figure out anything with viewport() and clipping or trellis.par.set to fix that... Any help greatly appreciated! Minimal example below. I would also like to add a label to the right-side vertical axis similar to the "sill..." label on the left. Bonus points if anyone can throw that in... Many thanks, Tim -- Timothy W.
