Hi, I am trying to create a scatterplot, coding each point to one of 5 populations. I was successful when I did this for one set of data, yet when I try plotting other data a blank plot appears (although the axes are labelled and I can fit the regression lines from each population). I have tried a variety of things to fix this but nothing seems to work.
I can plot the points if I do not specify that I want each population to have a particular symbol. However, once I add the command [grip$Morph] to my symbol parameter (e.g., pch=c(2,6,5,19,15) [grip$morph] ), I loose all the points. As I mentioned above, I was able to create a plot successfully using other data points from the same table (different columns), so I know the data are fine. Has anyone come across this before?
