[R] Plots with Y axis split into two scales

[Jeff Newmiller]

Please be a good netizen and post plain text on the list.

Jim can probably point you to some plotrix function that will do what you ask, but I would encourage you to plot the data twice rather than confusing the audience with nonlinear (discontinuous) scales in a single plot.
