[R] Need help ploting time series(2)

[jim holtman]

Here are a couple of ways that you can do it:

x <- expand.grid(YEAR=c(2003,2004), MONTH=1:12, DAY=1, STATE=LETTERS[1:4])
x$SALES <- runif(nrow(x), 10, 100)
# add date for plotting
x$date <- ISOdate(x$YEAR, x$MONTH, x$DAY)
# sort into date order for plotting
x <- x[order(x$date),]
# you can use lattice
require(lattice)
xyplot(x$SALES ~ x$date | x$STATE, type='l')
# or you can use base plot
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
invisible(lapply(split(x, x$STATE), function(.state){
    plot(.state$date, .state$SALES, type='l', main=.state$STATE[1])
}))
