Hi,

excellent! this makes complete sense...

This is close for the contrived example, but not quite what I need. I would 
like to plot the first 'group' of data as lines, and the second as points. I 
have tried specifying type=c('l', 'p') but this does not appear to work.

If I plot everything as point, the data plot correctly, but not in the symbols 
that I would like.

Cheers,

Dylan
