Hi. Sorry if this question might have already been asked... I'm trying to plot two curves on the same X-Y coordinate. The par(mfrow) command allows me to plot the two curves on the same window however on different coordinate systems. Is there a way to force the two curves into the same coordinate

one way is the following: x - seq(-2, 2, len = 11) y1 - 2*x^2 + 3*x + 1 y2 - - 2*x^2 - 3*x + 1 plot(x, y1, type = l, col = red, ylim = range(y1, y2)) lines(x, y2, col = blue) I hope it helps. Best, Dimitris njhuang86 wrote: Hi. Sorry if this question might have already been asked... I'm

See also file.path() and create.dir(). You can use them with getwd() and setwd() to specify and/or create subdirectories, relative to your current working directory. Handy because they allow you to create paths and directories with names derived within functions. For example, I have used them
