[R] Multiline and grouping in R

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Or you could use ggplot2

library(ggplot2)
Dataset <- read.csv("file.csv", header=TRUE)
ggplot(Dataset, aes(x = YEAR, y = CASES, colour = AREA)) + geom_line()

HTH,

Thierry

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to
say what the experiment died of.
~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher

The plural of anecdote is not data.
~ Roger Brinner

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of
data.
~ John Tukey
