Subject: Smoothed lines over barplots

Greetings.

I'd like to generate a graph that displays two distributions as
side-by-side bar graphs, then plots a smoothed line of the distribution on
top. The idea is to be able to visually compare the distributions.

I've done the following, but the axes don't line up. Any suggestions?

barplot(table(hcd.df$datecat, hcd.df$auth.sum), beside=TRUE,
  legend.text=c('Pre-9/11','Post-9/11'),main='Authoritarian Sum',
  sub='Chi-Square: 33.88; p< .01',col=c('yellow','red'))
par(new=TRUE)
plot(table(hcd.df$auth.sum[hcd.df$datecat==1]), type='l',xlim=c(-8,7),
  ylim=c(0,59),col='yellow')
par(new=TRUE)
plot(table(hcd.df$auth.sum[hcd.df$datecat==2]), type='l',
  col='red',xlim=c(-8,7), ylim=c(0,59))


Thanks.
