We've already used plot(), but without much discussion of what it can do. Here we'll look a bit more at (some of) the features of plot(). Note that there is a lot happening in the background when we call plot() - a coordinates system is set up, default axis labels generated, and rang limits for the axes are selected.

We can add any arbitrary line segements to a plot using lines(), as we'll demonstrate here. We'll also look at how we can control the format of axis labels.

Now we'll put together what we've done so far to create a polished plot.

Here we'll introduce the function layout() for creating multipanel plot layouts.

When you are working on plots, you may want to control the size of the plotting window. This can be done using X11() or quartz() to open a new graphical device whose size you can control.

Now we'll put everything together to create a publication-quality multi-panel plot.

This is a continuation of the last video on creating a multipanel plot.

Here we'll consider if and when it would make sense to use a loop to create multipanel plot.

We'll wind up this chapter with a demonstration of how to add a secondary y-axis to a plot.
