Subject: RE: [R] plotting two histograms on one plot with hist function
Thank you for all the advice! After mailing the question, I actually found
a function called multhist (plotrix package) that plots two data sets (in
single list) on a single histogram.
Trust Jim to be there ahead of everyone!
The script is as follows:
#I listed to two data sets in “long” format in a .csv file
input <- read.csv(file= "list.csv", h = TRUE)
library(plotrix)
#to plot two data sets on one histogram
multhist(input, xlab="Label”, ylab="Frequency", col=c("Red", "Green"),
ylim=c(0,50))
#to add a legend to the top left corner
legend("topleft", c("Dataset 1","Data set 2"),
cex=0.6,bty="n", fill=c("Red","Green"))
Thanks again for the help!

barplot( rbind(
