Thank you! That gets the data in exactly the shape I was expecting. I was
hoping to get the graph showing all lines on one plot, but coloured
according to plant. I tried to change screen=DF$plant for groups=DF$plant,
but it doesn't work, and I can't figure out from the documentation why it
doesn't work (I think I need to more thoroughly understand data types
first). Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks so much for your help so far.
