Hi,

When I plot 3 curves with the same x-axis and same y-axis, the first two
curves honor the y-axis but the last one doesn't. When I remove yaxt="n"
for the last curve a new scale appears on the y-axis along with the scales
that the first two curves use. I want all curves to use the same y-axis
scale.

What is missing ?

Hi Mohan,
This is because the ranges of "Used" and "Committed" are so close that you probably didn't notice the difference. "Max" is just a straight line way off the two original plots. If you want to show these three widely varying values on the same plot, use the lines or points function for the second two sets of values and set your ylim in the first plot to contain all the values to be plotted.

You might also look at the gap.plot function in plotrix if you want to avoid two lines at the bottom of the plot and one line right at the top:

gap.plot(data$Time,data$Used,gap=c(15000000,49000000),
 ylim=c(13500000,50500000),type="b",pch="U")
gap.plot(data$Time,data$Committed,gap=c(15000000,49000000),
 type="b",pch="C",add=TRUE)
gap.plot(data$Time,data$Max,gap=c(15000000,49000000),
 type="b",pch="M",add=TRUE)
