I'm fairly new to S-Plus and I need to get this done quickly. Suppose I have
the following fake data below:
There are two companies, call them Bob and Tom. Each have two variables, call
them A and B, that have observations.
Bob Tom
A B A B
Jan 8 4 9 8
Feb 7 5 4 7
Mar 6 8 4 4
Apr 3 7 6 2
May 5 1 8 5
Jun 6 4 7 1
July 2 8 3 4
Aug 1 2 4 8
Sep 4 3 1 9
Here is what I want to do: I want to make two different graphs, one for Bob
and one for Tom. For each graph, plot both variables A and B. Connect the A
values with a line, and connect the B values with a different type of line. So
there should be two lines for each graph. For the A line, at each time point,
the letter A should be on the line. And the same goes for the B line. Either R
or S-Plus since they are essentially the same.
I'm sure this is easy, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

Using plot.zoo in the zoo package try this:
Lines <- "Bob.A Bob.B Tom.A Tom.B

"
DF <- read.table(textConnection(Lines))
library(zoo)
z <- zooreg(as.matrix(DF), start =
as.yearmon(as.Date("2007-01-01")), freq = 12)
z <- aggregate(z, as.Date, tail, 1)
plot(z, plot.type = "single", type = "o",
pch = c("A", "A", "B", "B"), lty = 1:2)
legend("bottomleft", c("Bob", "Tom"), lty = 1:2)
