Dear all,
I am looking for a way to generate different plots in base R with adding points and lines manually to the plot. Here is my sample data:
Is it possible to add points() to a plot with the values from the first row (STARTING POINT X_START_YEAR/Y_START VALUE to END POINT: X_END_YEAR/Y_END_VALUE) and then plot again in the same plot in the same scheme the values for the second row.
After this plot has been generated a new group defined by NAME starts and a new plot should be generated for rows 3 and 4 in the same scheme as above.
The goal in the end is to connect the points by a line using type=l.
Unlike in this sample data, I have about 40000 rows and 1300 groups in the end and I am looking for a way to correctly plot this data in base R. Any help is appreciated!
Kind regards,
redshoe
