[R] two plots on the same axis

[baptiste auguie]

Hi,

Your two data sets have a different year so I'm not sure what you want
to do with the x axis.

The code below plots both data sets on the same graph, with a range of
two years,


d1 <- read.table("~/Downloads/2005.txt")
d2 <- read.table("~/Downloads/2006.txt")


cleanup <- function(d){
  names(d) <- c("year", "month", "day", "value")
  transform(d, date=as.Date(paste("0", year, month, day, sep=""), "%y%m%d"))
}

d1 <- cleanup(d1)
d2 <- cleanup(d2)

d <- rbind(d1, d2)
d <- transform(d, year=factor(year))

with(d, plot(date,value))

# prettier with ggplot2
library(ggplot2)
qplot(date, value, data=d, colour=year)


HTH,

baptiste
