Consider I have the following data:

AgeRange	AgeOfPerson	PersonNo	FriendsAtYear0	FriendsAtYear1	FriendsAtYear2	FriendsAtYear3	FriendsAtYear4	FriendsAtYear5
10 - 12	11	1	0	1	2	2	3	3
10 - 12	12	2	0	1	2	2	3	3
15 - 18	13	3	1	2	3	4	6	7
15 - 18	14	4	1	3	4	5	7	7
30 - 40	33	5	3	5	5	6	8	9
30 - 40	36	6	4	4	4	4	4	4

I want to plot the number of friends against number of years, as to show how friendships grew over time. Also, I want to group the graphs by AgeRange of persons and also color them with respect to the Age of Persons. So far, I have this code:


FilePath = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Documents\\Desktop\\Fayez\\ResearchWork\\Pajek_Work\\Program\\2011-03-07-Wed-FriMeetingApr15\\RPractice\\"

NumberOfyears <- c(0, 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5);

File2Open = paste(FilePath, "FriendshipNetExample.txt", sep = "")
#		print(File2Open)
		
DataTable = read.table(File2Open, header = TRUE, sep = "\t")
#		print(DataTable)

print(xyplot(FriendsAtYear0 + FriendsAtYear1 + FriendsAtYear2 + FriendsAtYear3 + FriendsAtYear4 + FriendsAtYear5
 ~ AgeOfPerson | AgeRange, data = DataTable, xlab = "Number of Years (0 to 5)", ylab = "Number of Friends", main = "Number of Friends vs. Years",
 #aspect = "xy", # calculate an optimal aspect ratio
 panel = function(x,y) {
	panel.grid();
	if (10 <= x && x < 12)  panel.xyplot(x,y,col="red");
	if (15 <= x && x < 18)  panel.xyplot(x,y,col="salmon");
	if (30 <= x && x < 40)  panel.xyplot(x,y,col="maroon");
} ) )

But it obviously does not serve the purpose. Urgent help would be most appreciated.
