[R] Overplotting: plot() invocation looks ugly ... suggestions?

Hi WizaRds, I'd like to overplot UK fuel consumption per quarter over the course of five years. Sounds simple enough? Unless I'm missing something, the following seems very involved for what I'm trying to do. Any suggestions on simplifications? The way I did it is awkward mainly because of

Hi Hadley, Thanks for your suggestion. The description of ggplot states: Description: ... It combines the advantages of both base and lattice graphics ... and you can still build up a plot step by step from multiple data sources So I thought I'd try to enhance

[R] Tcltk package

[R] Is there a better way than x[1:length(x)-1] ?

Hi WizaRds, In MATLAB you can do x=1:10 and then specify x(2:end) to get 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 or whatever (note that in MATLAB the parenthetic index notation is used, not brackets as in R). The point is that 'end' allows you to refer to the final index point of the array. Obviously there
