[R] Plotting in R

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Steven,
A basic plot can be displayed like this:

sydf<-read.table(text="year rate
 1993 0.608
 1994 0.622
 1996 0.623
 1998 0.647
 2000 0.646
 2002 0.625
 2004 0.628
 2006 0.685
 2008 0.679
 2010 0.595
 2012 0.567
 2014 0.599
 2016 0.642
 2018 0.685",
header=TRUE)
plot(sydf$year,sydf$rate,type="b",
xlab="Year",ylab="Rate")

When you add more years and rates to the data frame, the axes will
change to include the years and rates outside the ones in your
example. As some have noted, this is a very basic question.
