Subject: Three plots with logged X-axis in the same plot
In-Reply-To: <5194CD55.8080706@bitwrit.com.au>
Hi Jim,Thank you for your input! I am working with the text and arrow command in each of the graphs. I think it would be far to messy to plot them all in one graph (50+ point estimates and confidence intervals).
par(mfrow=c(1,3)) is a step in the proper direction but I fail to see how I can reduce the amount of unused printing area around the three graphs.
Cheers, Patrik

In order to highlight the time profile for the different plots, I would like to "merge" (put them next to each other, if that makes sense) together the log scaled x-axises and present the data in a single plot.

Hi Patrik,
This appears more like a diagram with the x dimension of log heart rate
and various terms appearing the the plot space that are particular to a
value or range of that heart rate. I would first think of using the
"text" function to place the medical terms, perhaps with the "arrow"
function showing a range. It may be simpler to use the "boxed.labels"
function in the plotrix package to overlay the ranges.
