[R] How to plot several graphs in a single 2-D figure?

[Feng Zhang]

Thanks, Iyue

But here the data1 and data2 are not necessarily two vectors.
Maybe they are results from some other functions, defined
as a data structure.
Like using norMix package,

x <- norMix(mu=c(-1,0,1.5),sig2=c(.49,.36,.16),w=c(.4,.3,.3));
plot(x); %% x is not a vector, but a structure
y <- norMix(mu=c(-2,0,2),sig2=c(.16,.36,.64),w=c(.4,.3,.3));
par(new=T);
plot(y);

The result graph is messed up and x,y dont have consistent axis label
settings.

Fred, Try:

>xrange<-range(c(data1[,1],data2[,1]))
>yrange<-range(c(data1[,2],data2[,2]))
>
>plot(data1, xlim=xrange, ylim=yrange, pch=1)
>points(data2, pch=2)
