[R] How to plot dates

[Avi Gross]

Not sure what you mean by a horizontal line, Greg.

I change one of my plots to add a path between corresponding values of the
sequence variable but obviously those lines are mostly not horizontal. Look
at geom_path and similar geoms like geom_line to connect endpoints grouped
whatever way you specify.

ggplot(data=myDat,aes(x=date, y=time, label=time)) + 
  geom_point(aes(color=seq)) + 
  geom_path(aes(group=seq)) +
  geom_text(aes(color=seq))

As this is a help group, I think I am done.

Thank you very much.
In addition to what your did, for event 1, I would like to draw a horizontal
line connecting from day 1 to day 2 to day 3 to day 4.
Then, for event 2, I would like to draw a horizontal line connecting from
day 1 to day 2 to day 3 to day 4.
Similarly for events 3, and 4. Is that convenient to do?

# just dots
ggplot(data=myDat,aes(x=date, y=time)) + geom_point(aes(color=seq))

# Also text
ggplot(data=myDat,aes(x=date, y=time, label=time)) + 
 geom_point(aes(color=seq)) + 
              geom_text(aes(color=seq))
