Hello, fellow R enthusiasts. Ok, I've been racking my brain about this small issue, and between searching the help archives and reading through the plot-related documentation, I can't figure out how to achieve my desired endpoint without some ugly, brute force coding.
What I would like to do is make a plot in which only a subset of my data are plotted, but in regular intervals, such as every 5th point along the sequence. Is anyone aware of a built-in function in plot or a related graphing family that can do this, or alternatively, a simple way to extract the desired rows from my original dataframe? I want to do this because I want to plot multiple series of points with their confidence intervals (arrows), and even if I specify type="b," the output ends up looking like just a series of crowded points. For example, if you try making the plot below, you will see how crowded two lines look without error bars: > example.df<-data.frame(StartDate=(94:157), DSR1=seq(0.4, 0.8, length.out=64), > DSR2=seq(0.3, 0.9, length.out=64)) > plot(example.df$StartDate, example.df$DSR1, type="b", ylim=c(0.3,0.9)) > points(example.df$StartDate, example.df$DSR2, type="b", pch=3) Any ideas for an elegant solution to my dilemma?
