[R] 'matplot' for matrix with NAs: broken lines

[Tao Shi]

Hi list,

I know that points involving NAs are not plotted in 'matplot', but when I plot them as lines, I still want the lines to connect all the points (i.e. not broken where there are NAs).  Please see the example below.  How can I achieve this in 'matplot'?  If I can't, any good alternatives so I don't have to use 'plot' + 'lines' and loop through all the columns.

Many thanks!

...Tao
