[R] Problem with Plotting in R

[Michael Dewey]

Dear Bob

We do not have your data so it is hard to be sure but plot() takes two 
parameters for the data x and y so when you give it three you are 
confusing it into thinking one of them is something else.

What exactly were you trying to do with the failed command?
