R – Line Graphs

09 Dec, 2021
A line graph is a chart that is used to display information in the form of a series of data points. It utilizes points and lines to represent change over time. Line graphs are drawn by plotting different points on their X coordinates and Y coordinates, then by joining them together through a line from beginning to end. The graph represents different values as it can move up and down based on the suitable variable.
The plot() function in R is used to create the line graph.
Syntax: plot(v, type, col, xlab, ylab)
Parameters: 
v: This parameter is a contains only the numeric values
type: This parameter has the following value: “p” : This value is used to draw only the points.“l” : This value is used to draw only the lines.“o”: This value is used to draw both points and lines
“p” : This value is used to draw only the points.“l” : This value is used to draw only the lines.“o”: This value is used to draw both points and lines
“p” : This value is used to draw only the points.
“l” : This value is used to draw only the lines.
“o”: This value is used to draw both points and lines
xlab: This parameter is the label for x axis in the chart.
ylab: This parameter is the label for y axis in the chart.
main: This parameter main is the title of the chart.
col: This parameter is used to give colors to both the points and lines.
Approach: In order to create a line graph: 
It is created using the type parameter as “o” and input vector.Below code to describe the line graph.

Below code to describe the line graph.
Example: 
R
# Create the data for the chart.v <- c(17, 25, 38, 13, 41) # Plot the bar chart.plot(v, type = "o")
Output: 
Approach: To create a colored and labeled line chart. 
Take all parameters which are required to make line chart by giving a title to the chart and add labels to the axes.We can add more features by adding more parameters with more colors to the points and lines.

Example:

# Create the data for the chart.v <- c(17, 25, 38, 13, 41) # Plot the bar chart.plot(v, type = "o", col = "green",    xlab = "Month", ylab = "Article Written",    main = "Article Written chart")
Output: 
Approach: To create multiple line graphs. 
In above example, we created line graphs by only one line in each graph.Now creating multiple lines to describe it more clearly.

Output: When we execute the above code, it shows the following result-
