Hi Greg, Thanks,
I got the 1st example to work using the following code: data <- read.csv("http://doylesdartden.com/Monthly-pH-example.csv", sep=",") attach(data) par(mfrow=c(2,1)) scatter.smooth( Year, MC.pH ) scatter.smooth( Year, MV.pH ) This is good but what I'm really looking for is to have them on the same graph. I tried your second example using the code below but got: "Error in plot.window(...) : need finite 'ylim' values" here is the code I used data <- read.csv("http://doylesdartden.com/Monthly-pH-example.csv", sep=",") attach(data) plot( Year, MC.pH, ylim=range(MC.pH,MV.pH) , col='blue') points( Year, MV.pH, col='green' ) lines( loess.smooth(Year,MC.pH), col='blue') lines( loess.smooth(Year,MV.pH), col='green') Thanks again David On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 1:45 PM, Greg Snow <538...@gmail.com> wrote: > Assuming that you want event as the x-axis (horizontal) you can do > something like (untested without reproducible data): > > par(mfrow=c(2,1)) > scatter.smooth( event, pH1 ) > scatter.smooth( event, pH2 ) > > or > > plot( event, pH1, ylim=range(pH1,pH2) , col='blue') > points( event, pH2, col='green' ) > lines( loess.smooth(event,pH1), col='blue') > lines( loess.smooth(event,pH2), col='green') > > Only do the second one if pH1 and pH2 are measured on the same scale > in a way that the comparison and any crossings are meaningful or if > there is enough separation (but not too much) that there is no > overlap, but still enough detail. > > > > On Mon, Apr 23, 2012 at 10:40 PM, R.
