Basic ggplot question

Thanks Baptiste that works but keen to know if there are other ways.

I'm new to ggplot .. just wondering if there is no easy way to overlay the
new data i.e vol over my Close chart?

Hi,

Try this,

m = melt(dat, id="Date")
head(m)

qplot(Date, value, data=m, colour=variable, geom="line")

ggplot(m) + facet_grid(variable~., scales="free_y") +
?geom_path(aes(Date, value))


HTH,

Hello R-Group,

I am trying plotting simple time-series with ggplot2 because the output
looks better and I've heard its richer in features.

I have the following dataset.

dput(dat)

structure(list(Date = structure(c(14970, 14971, 14972, 14973,
14974, 14977, 14978, 14979, 14980, 14981), class = "Date"), Close =
c(5998.1,
5996, 6060.35, 6101.85, 6134.5, 6157.6, 6146.35, 6079.8, 6048.25,
5904.6), vol = c(0.154535414667409, 0.151830297402932, 0.140309395040681,
0.136253183394409, 0.137108091041075, 0.137109537791588,

0.137664093371524,

0.141313700592413, 0.123866294210121, 0.139356235990631)), .Names =
c("Date",
"Close", "vol"), row.names = c("4905", "4906", "4907", "4908",
"4909", "4910", "4911", "4912", "4913", "4914"), class = "data.frame")

I can get one plot using:
qplot(Date, Close, data=dat,geom="line")

How can I plot both Close and vol on the same chart?

Been breaking my head on this ... thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,
