    <p>I have a comma separated file named <code>foo.csv</code> containing the following data:</p> <pre><code>scale, serial, spawn, for, worker 5, 0.000178, 0.000288, 0.000292, 0.000300 10, 0.156986, 0.297926, 0.064509, 0.066297 12, 2.658998, 6.059502, 0.912733, 0.923606 15, 188.023411, 719.463264, 164.111459, 161.687982 </code></pre> <p>I essentially have two questions:</p> <p>1) How do I plot the first column (x-axis) versus the second column (y-axis)? I'm trying this (from reading <a href="http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/R/gbe/scatter.htm" rel="noreferrer">this site</a>):</p> <pre><code>data &lt;- read.table("foo.csv", header=T,sep=",") attach(data) scale &lt;- data[1] serial &lt;- data[2] plot(scale,serial) </code></pre> <p>But I get this error back:</p> <pre><code>Error in stripchart.default(x1, ...) : invalid plotting method </code></pre> <p>Any idea what I'm doing wrong? A <a href="http://www.nabble.com/Problems-producing-a-simple-plot-td23347296.html" rel="noreferrer">quick Google search</a> reveals someone else with the same problem but no relevant answer. UPDATE: It turns out it works fine if I skip the two assignment statements in the middle. Any idea why this is?</p> <p>The second question follows pretty easily after the first:</p> <p>2) How do I plot the first column (x-axis) versus all the other columns on the y-axis? I presume it's pretty easy once I get around the first problem I'm running into, but am just a bit new to R so I'm still wrapping my head around it.</p>
