Chek the topic "Second y-axis --- alternative to par(new=" which was discussed recently - in that one, there are a few examples, how that can be achieved.
Essentially, you have to make sure, that the xlims of the hist() and plot(density()) are the same, and you have to use the par(new=TRUE) (or FALSE - I always forget) before the plot(density()) Cheers, Rainer On Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 2:51 PM, Hrishi Mittal <hrishimit...@gmail.com>wrote: > > Trafim, > > If you are plotting more than one variables on the same plot e.g. by using > the lines() or points() function, then the limits of the X and Y axes are > set based on the first variable you plot.
