That seems unlikely, but without your code it's hard to figure out what you did. As usual, the telepathy is not working. Regardless, this will create a graph with points: x <- read.table("clipboard", header=FALSE, as.is=TRUE) # including data is good; including data with dput() is better plot(x[,2], x[,3], type="p", xlab="X", ylab="Y", main="Points") > I read it with R and next I want to draw a point for each line the X is in > col 2 and y is in col 3 > but, I need that for each value of the first colomn , to have a color. Thus, > I want to get a draw with 3 colors for values 0 , 0.2 and 0.4 And here's one way to color them: plot(x[,2], x[,3], col=c("red", "blue", "green")[as.factor(x[,1])], xlab="X", ylab="Y", main="Colored Points") You might be interested in ?par especially pch and also in ?legend as well as in the basic help for ?plot and ?points.
