[R] simple time series plot

[R. Michael Weylandt]

The preferred format for time series will be something like this:

      Sensor1    Sensor2   Sensor3
T1  Read1_1  Read2_1  Read3_1
T2  Read1_2  Read2_2  Read3_2
T3  Read1_3  Read2_3  Read3_3

if you can get that. CSV separations are nice but not as essential as
the columnar organization. (It's possible with your other formats, but
it will be much harder)
