Hi, One way using ggplot2,
library(ggplot2) ggplot(data=myda, mapping=aes(x=traits, y=..density..)) + stat_density(aes(fill=factor), alpha=0.5, col=NA, position = 'identity') + stat_density(aes(colour = factor), geom="path", position = 'identity', size=2) HTH, baptiste 2009/8/19 Mao Jianfeng <jianfeng....@gmail.com>: > Dear R-listers, > > I have created a plot to display the density lines for the same > variable by different entities.
