[R] How to plot 2 continous variables on double y-axis with 2 factors: ggplot2, gplot, lattice, sciplot?

[John Kane]

It is not at all clear to me exactly what you want but ggplot2 does not allow double-y graphs.  However does this suggest anything useful? http://grokbase.com/t/r/r-help/104yxg1q38/r-plotting-multiple-cis
