Plotting multiple time series on the same plot using ggplot()

Question

I am fairly new to R and am attempting to plot two time series lines simultaneously (using different colors, of course) making use of ggplot2.

I have 2 data frames.

Answer 1

I prefer using the ggfortify library. It is a ggplot2 wrapper that recognizes the type of object inside the autoplot function and chooses the best ggplot methods to plot. At least I don't have to remember the syntax of ggplot2.

library(ggfortify)
ts1 <- 1:100
ts2 <- 1:100*0.8
autoplot(ts( cbind(ts1, ts2)  , start = c(2010,5), frequency = 12 ),
         facets = FALSE)
