Hi @all,
I am biting my nails with the following problem:
I have a data set of daily rainfall measurements for the last 20 years. What I
want to do is calculate the daily cumulative sum of rainfall but only for every
year which means that the cumulative sum has to be reset each year. After the
calculations I want to plot each year of cumulative rainfall as a separate line
in one graph preferably using ggplot with the x-axis showing the julian day 1
to 365 (366) and the y-axis showing the cumulative values.
I have the following code:
library(plyr)
library(ggplot2)
data<-read.csv("http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4236038/test_cumu.csv";)
data$year <- as.numeric(format(as.Date(data$Date), format="%Y"))
ddply(data,.(year),transform,cumRain = cumsum(Rainfall))->cumu
ggplot(cumu, aes(Date,cumRain))+geom_point()
What it does it perfectly calculates the cumulative sum of the rainfall and
resets the sum at the beginning of each year but I cannot plot the cumulative
sum of rainfall in a way that each year is represented by a separate line in
one graph such as in this example:

Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin
