Using lattice and the rainfall$Time series as proposed below by Dennis gives also a nice result:
rainfall$Time <- seq(from = as.Date('1993-01-01'), to = as.Date('2007-12-01'), by = 'month') xyplot(rainfall~Time,data=rainfall,type=c("g","p","l","smooth")) On Sunday 16 January 2011 17:33:18 Dennis Murphy wrote: > Hi: > > Try this, since your data have no missing months: > > rainfall$Time <- seq(from = as.Date('1993-01-01'), to = > as.Date('2007-12-01'), by = 'month') > g <- ggplot(rainfall, aes(x = Time, y = rainfall)) > g + geom_path() > > HTH, > Dennis > > On Sun, Jan 16, 2011 at 5:01 AM, Kang Min <ngokang...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I would like to plot time against rainfall data (data is at the end) > > using xyplot. > > > > The basic code looks like this: xyplot(rainfall~time, type="a") > > When I do this, the graph looks ok except that the x-axis has too many > > values.
