Hi list, I would like to use ggplot2 in creating a line plot with 4 lines (groups), 2 of which I want in colour and the remaining two as dotted lines. ### R code ### library(ggplot2) ### create data #### vals <- rnorm(400) div<- c(rep("A",100),rep("B",100),rep("C",100),rep("D",100)) n<- rep(1:100,4) df<- data.frame(div= as.factor(div),vals=vals,n=n) ### ggplot function #### qplot(x=n,y=vals, colour = div ,geom = "line",data=df) What I would like to see is a line plot where I can have lines for groups A, and B in colour and lines for C and D in dotted and dashed respectively. Also, I would like to know how I can draw two lines (groups C and D) which are both dotted. Thanks Regards Harsh Singhal [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
