[R] Time series plot

[Don MacQueen]

Here's an example illustrating a way to get a second y axis that has 
a different range:

x <- 1:10
y1 <- 2*x
y2 <- 100-3*x+rnorm(10)

par(mar=c(5.1,4.1,4.1,4.1))

plot(x,y1)
par(new=TRUE)
plot(x,y2,xaxt='n',yaxt='n',xlab='',ylab='',pch=3)
axis(4)
mtext('y2',side=4,line=2.5)
