R help - Nov 2012 - Plot 3 lines in one graph

I'm new with R. I want to plot 3 lines in one graph. This is my data:

print(x)
     V1       V2       V3      V41 -4800 25195.73 7415.219 7264.282
-2800 15195.73 5415.219 7264.28

I tried using matplot, but I cannot get exactly what I want. This is what I
get, and this is my code:

matplot(x[,1],x[,-1],type='b', xlab = "epsilon_h",
        ylab = "Value2", xlim= range(-4500,-100),
        col = c("blue","green","red"), pch=1:3)
ex12 <- expression(V(h == 40),
                   V(h==20),
                   V(h==0))
legend("topright", ex12, col =
c("blue","green","red"), pch=1:3)

I would like to make the lines extend so I can see the intersections.


The other, fancier and better looking, option that i found is ggplot2. But
for what I understand from the
example<http://wiki.stdout.org/rcookbook/Graphs/Scatterplots%20(ggplot2)/>I
would need to reshape my data to something like this

     id       x       y      1     1     -4800   25195.73
2     1     -2800   15195.733     2     -4800   7415.2194     2
-2800   5415.2195     3     -4800   7264.286     3     -2800   7264.28

Thanks a lot for the help!

I cannot follow you example (you might care to read the posting guide, link at
end, to help you in this regard).  However, the usual way to plot three lines in
one graph is to use lines.  For example,

yourData <- data.frame(x=1:2, y1=runif(2), y2=runif(2), y3=runif(2))
with(yourData, plot(x, y1, ylim=range(unlist(yourData[,-1])), type='l'))
with(yourData, lines(x, y2, col='red3'))
with(yourData, lines(x, y3, col='blue2', lty='dashed'))

I hope this is of some help ...
