Sorry about that, new to posting here! Your code was extremely helpful, and tweaking it a bit gave me the output I was looking for:
plot( rep(1:12, 17), pox, col = rep(1:17, each = 12), xaxt = "n", ylab="Reported Cases",xlab = "Months", pch = 20, main="Monthly Trends of Chickenpox") axis(1, at = 1:12, labels = month.abb, padj = 0) legend(8, 28000,c("1993", "1994","1995","1996","1997","1998","1999","2000", "2001","2002","2003","2004","2005","2006","2007","2008","2009"), inset=.05, title="Years", c(1993:2009), pch=20, horiz=FALSE, cex=.7) Apparently there aren't enough colors for each year to have it's own individual color, but I think I can live with that.
