[R] Subset and point plot

[Peter Ehlers]

I tried your code and a funny thing happened: I got an
error

  object 'Foodin' not found

Hmmm; could you try to post something _reproducible_
(and minimal, please)?

But here are some suggestions:
1. investigate '%in%'
2. put a comma after Wgt in your plot call
3. see what you get from

   c("red","blue","purple","pink")["a4"]

4. assuming that 'Tanks' is a factor, see what you get from

   c("red","blue","purple","pink")[Tanks]
