Graphing Segments in R

Question

I want to plot segmented data in R. That is, say I have data of the form

| Product               | Date   | Origination | Rate | Num | Balance   |
|-----------------------|--------|-------------|------|-----|-----------|
| DEMAND DEPOSITS       | 200505 | 198209      | 0    | 1   | 2586.25   |
| DEMAND DEPOSITS       | 200505 | 198304      | 0    | 1   | 3557.73   |
| DEMAND DEPOSITS       | 200505 | 198308      | 0    | 1   | 14923.72  |
| DEMAND DEPOSITS       | 200505 | 198401      | 0    | 1   | 4431.67   |
| DEMAND DEPOSITS       | 200505 | 198410      | 0    | 1   | 44555.23  |
| MONEY MARKET ACCOUNTS | 200505 | 198209      | 0.25 | 2   | 65710.01  |

| SAVING ACCOUNTS       | 200505 | 198306      | 0.25 | 1   | 66434.56  |
| SAVING ACCOUNTS       | 200505 | 198309      | 0.25 | 1   | 20005.56  |
| SAVING ACCOUNTS       | 200505 | 198404      | 0.25 | 2   | 16766.56  |
| SAVING ACCOUNTS       | 200505 | 198407      | 0.25 | 1   | 47721.97  |

I want to plot on the Y-axis a line per 'Product' type by 'Balance'. On the X-axis, I want to put the 'Origination'. I would ideally also like to set colors to distinguish between the lines. The data is not currently in data.frame form so let me know if I need to change back to that.

I haven't been able to find an informative solution online for this, even though I'm sure there is.

Thanks,

I guess you want something like the following:

df <- as.data.frame(df[c('Product', 'Balance', 'Origination')])
head(df)

Product  Balance Origination
1  DEMAND DEPOSITS         2586.25      198209
2  DEMAND DEPOSITS         3557.73      198304
3  DEMAND DEPOSITS        14923.72      198308
4  DEMAND DEPOSITS         4431.67      198401
5  DEMAND DEPOSITS        44555.23      198410
6  MONEY MARKET ACCOUNTS  65710.01      198209

library(ggplot2)
library(scales)
ggplot(df, aes(Origination, Balance, group=Product, col=Product)) + 
         geom_line(lwd=1.2) + scale_y_continuous(labels = comma)
