Ah ok, Here we go: structure(list(DATE = structure(c(1348477980, 1350386220, 1351114980, 1347388440, 1345650300, 1344558600, 1344955920, 1348489140, 1351169100, 1352297220, 1350471060, 1352303640, 1351797660, 1351772580, 1349213100, 1354275600, 1351257660, 1345728480, 1355914440, 1344552300, 1347442740, 1349954880, 1344874500, 1347274860, 1345546500, 1354269780, 1351271280, 1349268300), class = c("POSIXct", "POSIXt"), tzone = "GMT"), DATA = c(5.61, 5.8, 6.01, 5.65, 5.27, 5.67, 5.66, 5.81, 5.67, 5.46, 5.81, 5.86, 5.7, 5.33, 5.99, 5.7, 6.06, 5.47, 6.42, 6.05, 5.49, 5.45, 5.48, 5.61, 5.96, 5.37, 5.77, 5.81)), .Names = c("DATE", "DATA"), row.names = c(NA, -28L), class = "data.frame")
The wrong points are being joined by lines. If I use qplot from the ggplot2 library it plots fine, but I want to use plot as it is easier to customise. Thanks again.
