I am trying to plot a dual y axis plot using the following code:
plot(dataset1, col="black", ylab="Height (ft)", main = "W7R001")
par(new = TRUE)
points(dataset5, col="red", pch = ".", xlab="", ylab="", axes = FALSE)
axis(side = 4)
mtext(side = 4, "Height (m)").
My issue now is that, on the secondary plot, the label of the secondary y axis lies on the secondary y axis vales. How do I fix or avoid this?
If I put the line function, it returns an error. Its not working.
Not line function. See ?mtext and read about the line argument.
Otherwise, what error, exactly?
Yes, glad you solved it.
I directed you to the help for base plotting because you used base R in your question. If you use ggplot2 at all, you might be interested to know you can also do the same like this
ggplot(tibble(x = 1:10, y = 1:10), aes(x, y)) +
geom_point() +
scale_y_continuous(sec.axis = sec_axis(~. * 0.3, name = 'Metres')) +
labs(x = 'X label', y = 'Feet')

I had to increase plot margins and shift the label.
