[R] Question re matplot

[David Kaplan]

Yea, sorry, that was a typo when I copied into my emal.

Here it is again
matplot(battingagg$X, battingagg[, c("HR","RBI","X2B", "BB", 
"R", "SB")], type="b",lty=4,lwd=2, col=1:4,xlab = "Year", 
ylab = "(1)HRs, (2)RBIs, (3)DOUBLES,(4)BB,(5)Runs,(6) BB", 
pty="m",sub = "Figure 2.  Plot of Selected Offensive 
Baseball Statistics: 1901 - 2005")
