I want to avoid overly cluttered plots in making individual profile. So, I will like the profile plot to appear grey (not completely visible) and about 30 randomly selected 'lucky subjects' to appear dark(very visible). > Hi segun, Will this do the job? luckyones<-sample(unique(dat$Id),3) plot(dat$Time,dat$Y,type="n",main="The luck of the drawing",) for(subid in unique(dat$Id)) lines(dat$Time[dat$Id == subid],dat$Y[dat$Id == subid], col=ifelse(subid %in% luckyones,"black","lightgray")) Jim [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
