Hi,
This is R, so there are bound to be severay ways to do it. This would
be my first choice:

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(d, aes(x=V2, y=V3, color=V1)) + geom_step()

Best,

Hi all,

I have a question, that might be a „rookie“ question – but I’m trying now for days and cannot get my head around. The general question is: How can I plot a stepped line chart with multiple lines from a subset of a dataframe?

An example:
d <- matrix(rep(0,24), ncol=3, nrow=8)
d <- as.data.frame(d)
d$V1 <- c("A","A","A","B","B","C","C","C")
d$V2 <- c(5,10,15,10,15,5,13,15)
d$V3 <- c(10,20,30,7.5,10,3,7,10)

Probably the second to these:

require(lattice)
xyplot(V3 ~ V2|V1, data=d, type="s")  #separate panels
xyplot(V3 ~ V2, group=V1, data=d, type="s")  # all on one panel

which gives me the following dataframe:
 V1 V2   V3
1  A  5 10.0
2  A 10 20.0
3  A 15 30.0
4  B 10  7.5
5  B 15 10.0
6  C  5  3.0
7  C 13  7.0
8  C 15 10.0

I now want to plot three stepped lines into a x-y chart, the lines representing A, B, C. The x-axis is given by V2, the y-axis by V3, thus each line will be “ascending” It must be something with SUBSET or so, but I do not find an easy way.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks
Stephan
