Ah that's great, thank you very much.

As a follow-on, in the same format, how would I plot where column 3 is greater 
than 0 *but also less than 2*?

Once again, any help is much appreciated.


Thanks,

Steve

Try this:

plot(January[January[,3]> 0, 3:4])

Dear all,



I have a dataset of four columns, and I wish to plot (as a scatter graph) the 
values of the third column where the values are greater than zero, and the 
fourth column.



I tried doing this via the plot command itself, but got into a bit of a mess 
(resulting in errors!). My dataframe is called 'January':



> plot(January[3(>0):4])

Error: unexpected '>' in "plot(January[3(>"





After a few variations on this, I thought I'd try making a new object which 
includes all values from the third column of January>0 (to plot in a separate 
step) as follows:



> JanFilter <- January[3]>0



No error here. However, when I display the 'values' of JanFilter, it shows that 
instead of keeping the numerical values, the above operation simply displays 
the results of the logical test:



> head(JanFilter)

                            Value

[1,]                       FALSE

[2,]                        TRUE

[3,]                        TRUE

[4,]                        TRUE

[5,]                        TRUE

[6,]                        TRUE

So my question is, how do I perform 'if' statements in order to filter out 
various parts of a dataset, for plotting on a graph.



Many thanks,



Steve
