You can introduce the row number as a case number, you can group by case and plot the connecting lines
#Read raw data df = read.table("http://www.lecturematerials.co.uk/data/sample.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",", dec=".", na.strings=c("NA")) names(df)<-c("1","2","3","4") df$case <- rownames(df) #Turn data from wide to long ds<-melt(df, id.vars = "case") ggplot(ds, aes(x = variable, y = value, group = case)) + geom_point () + geom_line() Hope this helps, Ulrik On Sat, 14 May 2016 at 10:20 Mike Smith <m...@hsm.org.uk> wrote: > Hi > > Ive got stuck using the code below to try to plot trajectories - columns > are data recorded at time points, rows are cases.
