R help - Apr 2011 - Using jitter function with differing variable lengths

Hi,

I am trying to make a scatter plot with 4 different categories using the
jitter function.  My code returns a variable length error and will not plot
because my four categories have different numbers of samples.  When I delete
samples from my spreadsheet so that each of the categories has the same
number of variables, it plots just fine.

Is there any way to get around this and plot all of my samples using jitter?

Thanks for the help!

That should work right way with the right code. Yours probably isn't right.

PLEASE do read the posting guide 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, 
minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

In that case, we could probably show what you need to improve.

A reproducible example would really help here.
