I don't believe this is possible in base graphics: you need to plan your graphics ahead with something like plot(, ylim = range(x1, x2, x3)). There's a pen-and-paper approach which means once something is there, it's on the device permanently (unless you write over it). Perhaps an interactive graphics package would allow it -- but I'll happily be corrected (and informed) by others.
As a style thing, your use of c() is unnecessary and confusing. identical(1:10, c(1:10)) Michael On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 2:40 PM, Alaios <ala...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Dear all, > > I have made a function that given a number of list elements plot them to the > same window. > > The first element is plotted by using plot and all the rest are plotted under > the > > same window by using lines. > > I have below a small and simple reproducible example. > > > x1<-c(1:10) > plot(x1) > > x2<-c(11:20) > lines(x2) > > x3<-c(31:40) > lines(x3) > > > > > as you might notice > the two consecutive lines fail to be plotted as the axis were formed by the > first plot. > Would it be possible after the last lines to change the axis to the minimum > and the maximum of all data sets to be visible? > > Any idea how I can do that? > > I would like to thank you for your help > > B.R > Alex > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > 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. ______________________________________________ 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.
