[R] plot two time series with different length and different starting point in one figure.

[Yuan, Rebecca]

Hello Petr,

As the time series have the same column names, I got the error message like:


--------------------------------------------------------------------
> m1<-merge(A, B, by.x = "time", by.y = "balance")
Error in fix.by(by.x, x) : 'by' must specify uniquely valid column(s)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

To plot A and B in one plot is to compare the difference between them...

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Rebecca
