> country year gdp

> a 1971 2
> . . .
> a 1999 18
> b 1970 2
> b 1971 5
> . . .
> b 1999 15
> c 1970 5
> c 1971 8
> . . .
> c 1999 10

> Now, I would like to have the (connected) line graph for

> that is, three lines for three country on the same graph in

> Can I do this with this long panel data?
