Thank you Petr, the code is wonderful. One more question, you used [as.numeric(together$sex)] to drawing plots many times (Par(new)). Please kindly advise if there is a similar method to replace drawing ablines many times. If not, I am afraid that the ablines will not follow the same Y and X-axis places.
