[R] Differentiate values in a plot by colour or symbol

[Tobias Christoph]

Ahh, okay.

I think now I understand what you exactly mean. But the plot is stil not 
working /differentiate the dots by color. I used the following formula.

"plot(data$stations, data$revenue, xlab="stations", ylab="revenue", col 
= findInterval(data$year, c(2005, 2010, 2015))"

I think the problem is stil related to the term "col = 
findInterval(data$year, c(2005, 2010, 2015))" and its notation.

Just to make sure: "data" is the name of the data-table imported in R. 
"year" is the lable of the column where the years are listed in the 
data-table?

Cheers
