Hey Guys,
I am quite new to R, am trying to plot a bar plot for my monthly rainfall
data from 1920 to 1990. For every year I have the data from January to
December. I have created this code:
data<-read.table("C://R//Data//Rain.txt", header=TRUE)
data<-data[,2:13]
Rdata<-data[1,]
for(i in 2:79){Rdata<-c(Rdata,data[i,])}
times<-ts(Rdata,start=1920,frequency=12)
pdf("plot_Rain",width=20,height=5)
barplot(times)
I am getting this error:
Error in barplot.default(times) : 'height' must be a vector or a matrix
Could anyone please tell me how should I specify/write the code to plot the
bars??
Thank you in advance for your time!
Nyanzura

However, a plot with 852 bars might be a little hard to interpret. Jim
Hi Jim, Thank you very much, let me check as you suggested. But in addition what do you think could be easy to interpret? Could you advice me please.
