Thanks for that - I just two seconds ago sent a reply to the list
complaining because you didn't provide one. However, the code below
doesn't work.

We don't have task_name so this bit fails

As does this bit

So we don't get the plot I think you wanted us to get here.
If my reply (winging its way to you as we speak) doesn't solve the
problem, then work on your example so that it works in a clean R
session. If you start a new R session and paste in your code/example,
you'll see if it runs OK or not.
