I have a time series with many millions of points.
Each point is of the form (time, value) but where the value is 0 there is
no record - ie the data set is sparse.
If I plot this using plot(myData) I get a correct plot going from time 0 to
time 7x10e7.
Given that there are many millions of points (it's not *that* sparse), this
looks very busy.
But if I attempt to plot this as a line - plot(myData, type="l") - the plot
is wrong (it looks like solid semi-sinusoidal curves) and although the
x-axis is drawn from 0 to 7x10e7, the plotting stops at about 3x10e7.
The same thing is seen if I use plot(myData[[1]], myData[[2]], type="l").
If I use plot(myData[[2]], myData[[1]], type="l") I do get a line (albeit
that the orientation seems odd), but again, while the y-axis is drawn
between 0 and 7x10e7, the plotting again seems to stop at 3x10e7 or
thereabouts.
What have I got wrong? How can I get a line (preferably with the standard
orientation)?
