Plotting Simple Data in R

Question

I have a comma separated file named foo.csv containing the following data:

scale, serial, spawn, for, worker
5, 0.000178, 0.000288, 0.000292, 0.0003         


        

Answer 1

I am far from being an R expert, but I think you need a data.frame:

plot(data.frame(data[1],data[2]))

It does at least plot something on my R setup!

Following advice in luapyad's answer, I came up with this. I renamed the header "scale":

scaling, serial, spawn, for, worker
5, 0.000178, 0.000288, 0.000292, 0.000300
10, 0.156986, 0.297926, 0.064509, 0.066297
12, 2.658998, 6.059502, 0.912733, 0.923606
15, 188.023411, 719.463264, 164.111459, 161.687982

then:

foo <- read.table("foo.csv", header=T,sep=",")
attach(foo)
plot( scaling, serial );
