Frightfully sorry about that. I'm using R on a Mac, and its a simple plot using plot() which is taking values from a CSV file, let me illustrate for one dataset : ====== #!/usr/bin/Rscript out_file = "foobar.pdf" pdf(out_file, height=8.5, width=11) my_values <- read.csv("foo.csv",head=TRUE,sep=",") plot(my_values$num_sims, my_values$exec_time, xlab="Number of Simulations", ylab="Execution Time(in milliseconds)", col="red", main="Execution Time for Simulations") lines(my_values$num_sims,my_values$exec_time,col="red") my_values2 <- read.csv("bar.csv",head=TRUE,sep=",") lines(my_values2$num_sims,my_values2$exec_time,col="blue") points(my_values2$num_sims,my_values2$exec_time,col="blue") legend("topright", lty=c(1,1), c("foo","bar"), col=c("red","blue") ); dev.off() print(paste("Plot was saved in:", getwd())) ====== foo.csv and bar.csv have values like: "num_sims","exec_time" 1000000,44556 2000000,89112 3000000,133668 etc. Please let me know if you require any additional information.
