Great! Thank you!
With the data, I would like to make a scatter plot with speed on the x-axis and C differences on the y-axis, with a different color to represent different dates. There are over 50 different dates, so I want 50 different colors on a single plot. How can I make this plot? If I wanted to make 50 separate plots for 50 different dates, how can I do that?
