plot2.R

# For each plot you should
## - Construct the plot and save it to a PNG file with a width of 480 pixels and a height of 480 pixels.
## - Name each of the plot files as plot1.png, plot2.png, etc.
## - Create a separate R code file (plot1.R, plot2.R, etc.) that constructs the corresponding plot, i.e. code in plot1.R constructs the plot1.png plot. 
##   Your code file should include code for reading the data so that the plot can be fully reproduced. 
##   You must also include the code that creates the PNG file.
## - Add the PNG file and R code file to your git repository
