Hi,
I am new to R and I have been trying it out. I ran into a problem with the
plot() function. Below is my code:
> d <-
read.table("c:/test/sp.txt",header=0)> spval <- d[,2]
> plot(spval,type="l")
Warning messages:
1: graphical parameter "type" is obsolete in: plot.window(xlim, ylim,
log,
asp, ...)
2: graphical parameter "type" is obsolete in: axis(side, at, labels,
tick,
line, pos, outer, font, lty, lwd,
3: graphical parameter "type" is obsolete in: title(main, sub, xlab,
ylab,
line, outer, ...)
4: graphical parameter "type" is obsolete in: axis(side, at, labels,
tick,
line, pos, outer, font, lty, lwd,
I tried to plot a line graph from a text file with two columns. Some how R
won't plot the data as lines, and it kept giving me the same warning:
"type"
is obsolete. What does this mean? Am I doing something wrong, or is the
parameter really obsolete, or do I need install some package?
Thanks,
Tom

I'm guessing that spval is a factor. Plotting a factor will plot a bar plot of the counts of the levels; it doesn't make sense to ask for type="l". Duncan Murdoch
It's possible the problem is with your data; could you provide some sample data with which we can reproduce the error?
