Dear r-helpers, I'm using ggplot2::ggplot to plot seven time series on the same graph. c <- ggplot(jobm, aes(y = value, x = year, colour = kind)) c + stat_smooth() This gives me a legend with colors that are not very different. Can I label the lines instead? How? _____________________________ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology USPS: P.O.Box 400400 Charlottesville, VA 22904-4400 Parcels: Room 102 Gilmer Hall McCormick Road Charlottesville, VA 22903 Office: B011 +1-434-982-4729 Lab: B019 +1-434-982-4751 Fax: +1-434-982-4766 WWW: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~mk9y/

You might also try using a colour brewer scale instead - e.g. + scale_colour_brewer(palette = "Set1"). See display.brewer.all(n=7, exact.n=FALSE) for a complete list of possibilities.
