Thanks. There is one more idea from Jim Lemon which can also help.

In my case I am dealing with a sys. admin who thinks the JVM is using all 
the memory in the linux machine. I think it is 
http://www.linuxatemyram.com/  syndrome.

So if the junior sys. admin loses perspective I will never be released 
from this assignment :-)

So I am gathering 'pmap' output and plotting Total size(Kbytes) and 
Resident Size(RSS) of the JVM.

Well I have not spent a lot of time looking  at the data , especially with 
what appeared to be a constant :)  . It was not clear to me that they were 
the same units for one thing.

>From my point of view (essentially total ignorance) if you have a 
situation where you have data plotted with the same set of units it's even 
dicier to use a two scale plot.  You are just demanding too much of the 
reader to figure out which line is which and remember that the line 
attached to the right axis is 10^3 of the values of the left access.

My solution would probably be to just stack the two graphs one on top of 
the other , with the top graph having the 'higher' values.  However it is 
a judgement call and also dependent on the discipline.

Anyway see the quick and dirty attempt attached to see what I am 
suggesting.

Hi, 
              Can't one y-axis be used ? Both 'Kbytes' and 'RSS' use the 
same unit. 

Thanks,

Still looks like a constant to me :) I think I see what you mean though. 
It's just that representation of the numbers in the email don't show any 
difference.  

 Personally I think I'd go with a two panel graph using par() rather than 
a double-axis graph if you can. Everything I have read about double-axis 
graphs is  rather negative. However, I know they are standard in some 
disciplines.

 It is not a constant but changes very slowly. Actually it should be like 
this. 

 Kbytes                    RSS                   rNo 
 2687188        1287532        1 
 2687188        1287532        2 
 2687188        1287536        3 
 2687188        1287540        4 
 2687188        1287640        5 
 2687188        1287640        6 

 Thanks, 
 Mohan

 I am misreading something here I think. Why are you graphing against a 
constant?
