Here is an approach which uses xyplot() in the lattice package and
shows how to control line types and colors:
mydf <- data.frame(x=rep(paste("Group", 1:4, sep=""), 6),
v=rep(paste("Variable", 1:6, sep=""), each=4),
y=runif(24))
library(lattice)
xyplot(y ~ v, groups = x, data = mydf, type="b",
xlab="Dependent Variables", ylab="Mean",
auto.key=list(lines=TRUE, points=TRUE, space="right"),
par.settings = list(superpose.symbol =
list(pch=c(16,8,1,5),
col=c("black","red","green","blue"),
lty=c(1,2,3,4)),
superpose.line =
list(col=c("black","red","green","blue"),
lty=c(1,2,3,4))))
