[R] Plotting time vs number

[Jannis]

Hi Mohan,

i am not sure whether I understand your question correctly. Without 
beeing able to easily reproduce your plot, I would guess that the 
"breaks" come from the type='b' option you choose. When you use type 
='l', the line would be continuous (though the jumps would still be 
there). If you need the points as well, use points() to plot a point 
plot over the already existing line plot.


Does this solve your problem?
