#add extra space to right margin of plot within frame par(mar=c(5, 4, 4, 4) + 0.1) # Plot first set of data and draw its axis plot(time, betagal.abs, pch=16, axes=F, ylim=c(0,1), xlab="", ylab="", type="b",col="black", main="Mike's test data") axis(2, ylim=c(0,1),col="black") mtext("Beta Gal Absorbance",side=2,line=2.5) box() I found the following example, but it is not quite what I am looking for. Ideally, these one of these plots would be above the other plot, but keeping the same x-axis. It is good to see that others have had similar issues and tried to work through methods to address it.
