[R] plotting

I just appropriated your data set and tried it in ggplot2 and your objection looks valid there as well.

And Michael was right, the shape command can go in the first aes statement.

  
library(ggplot2)    
p  <-  ggplot(dta  , aes(time, value, 
        shape = as.factor(id) , colour =as.factor(group ))) + 
        geom_point()
  p
