Hi! I'm new to R and am working through the R for Data Science online book. I wanted to try do some data frames of my own and decided to graph some weather data. I would like to show a line graph of the temperature and the barometric pressure to show the relationship between changes in the two. However, the Y domains for the two series are different enough that you can't really see the trend (temps in F are 60-90 range and pressure in millibars are 1000+). I'm only interested in the trend, not the specific Y values. I tried adding a second axis, but that didn't show what I wanted and I also thought maybe if there was a way to do 2 graphs with the X data points aligned vertically it would accomplish the same goal. Does any have any suggestions on the best way to tackle this (again, I'm very new to R so its possible there is an easy solution I haven't read about yet)?
Thanks in advance!
