Hi All, Sorry for the shape of data which was not good enough.This is how my data look like.
I want to plot multiple using ggplot function from a data frame of many columns. I want to plot only Start.of.Rain..i., Start.of.Rain..ii. and Start.of.Rain..iii. and I failed to make it. What I want is to compare Start.of.Rain..i., Start.of.Rain..ii. and Start.of.Rain..iii. by plotting vertical line. I also need to add points to the plot to be able to separate them. The x-axis must be date column. Thanks! Here is how the data look like and how I tried to make it. Date Number.of.Rain.Days Total.rain Start.of.Rain..i. Start.of.Rain..ii. Start.of.Rain..iii. 1952-01-01 86 1139.952 92 239 11 1953-01-01 96 977.646 98 98 11 1954-01-01 114 1382.014 92 92 12 1955-01-01 119 1323.086 100 100 12 1956-01-01 123 1266.444 92 92 11 1957-01-01 124 1235.964 92 92 11 Here is how I tried to solve the problem. df1 <-data.frame(data) df1 df2 <- melt(df1 , id = 'Date', variable_name = 'start of Rains') df2 ggplot(df2, aes(Date,value)) + geom_line(aes(colour ="red"),type = "h") Kindly any help is welcome. Thanks Regards, Frederic. Frederic Ntirenganya Maseno University, African Maths Initiative, Kenya.
