[R] To plot and to extract info from a plot

[Jim Lemon]

HI Jackson,
This might get you started:

# plot a few squiggles
plot(runif(100)+1,seq(10000,0,length.out=100),xlim=c(1,6),
 type="l",main="Squiggles by Years",
 xlab="Squiggles",ylab="Years",xaxt="n")
lines(runif(100)+2,seq(10000,0,length.out=100))
lines(runif(100)+3,seq(10000,0,length.out=100))
lines(runif(100)+4,seq(10000,0,length.out=100))
lines(runif(100)+5,seq(10000,0,length.out=100))
axis(1,at=1:5+0.5,labels=1:5)

Jim
