Dear Amanda, Try this: # Data set set.seed(123) DF=data.frame(A=rnorm(10),B=rpois(10,10),C=sample(1:3,10,replace=T)) attach(DF)
# Plot plot(A,B,pch=16,col=C) legend('topleft',paste('Group',1:3,sep=" "),col=1:3,pch=16) HTH, Jorge On Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 6:29 PM, Amanda Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > I am a complete R rookie so this question is probably really simple > but I haven't found an answer on the web that I can understand. > > My data frame has 3 columns, A, B and C.
