You can also use the facilities in the lattice package. Using Jim“s data names:
require(lattice) xyplot(A+B+C~D, data=wag, type="l", auto.key=list(points = FALSE, lines = TRUE, space = "bottom"), ylab="value", main="Three variable plot") Regards, Francisco Jim Lemon wrote: > Wayne Aldo Gavioli wrote: >> Hello all, >> >> I was wondering if anyone knew how to construct a multiple line graph on R, >> where there are 2 (or more) sets of data points plotted against some x axis >> of >> data, and you can draw a line on the graph connecting each set of data >> points. >> >> For example: >> >> A B C D >> 0.6566 2.1185 1.2320 5 >> 0.647 2.0865 1.2325 10 >> 0.6532 2.1060 1.2287 15 >> 0.6487 2.1290 1.2313 20 >> 0.6594 2.1285 1.2341 25 >> 0.6577 2.1070 1.2343 30 >> 0.6579 2.1345 1.2340 35 >> 0.6734 2.1705 1.2362 40 >> 0.675 2.1845 1.2372 45 >> 0.6592 2.1550 1.2340 50 >> 0.6647 2.1710 1.2305 55 >> >> >> >> Would there be a way: >> a) To graph all the points of data in sets A, B and C as Y coordinates on one >> graph, using the points in set D as the X-axis/coordinates for all 3 sets >> (A, B >> and C)? >> b) To be able to draw 3 lines on the graph that connect each set of data (1 >> line >> connects all the A points, one line connects all the B points, one line >> connects >> all the C points) >> >> >> I couldn't find anything in the examples or the help section about multiple >> lines on the same graph, only one line. >> > Hi Wayne, > > Assume your data is in a data frame named "wag": > > plot(wag$D,wag$A,main="Three variable plot",xlab="D",ylab="Value", > ylim=range(wag[c("A","B","C")]),type="l",col=2) > lines(wag$D,wag$B,type="l",pch=2,col=3) > lines(wag$D,wag$C,type="l",pch=3,col=4) > legend(25,1.9,c("A","B","C"),lty=1,col=2:4) > > Jim > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
