Hi i want do a line graph. My y axis contains numeric values. My x axis contains non numeric statements. This is what i want the graph to look like. When i try to plot this graph on R it comes up with the following error message: "Error in plot.window(...) : need finite 'xlim' values In addition: Warning messages: 1: In xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) : NAs introduced by coercion 2: In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf 3: In max(x) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf"
Hi Sam, While I don't know what you want the graph to look like, I would suggest the following: xf<-factor(x) plot(as.numeric(xf),rnorm(10),type="l",xaxt="n") axis(1,at=1:10,labels=xf) Jim
