Scatterplot of draft rank vs birthday as determined by the 1969 Selective Service draft lottery

This image is an original work by Robert Dodier (User:Wile E. Heresiarch).

Assuming that the raw data (as stated by [1]) are saved in a file named draft70yr.txt, these commands (of the R programming language) create the image:

read.table ('draft70yr.txt', header=T) -> x
png (file='1969_draft_lottery_scatterplot.png') 
plot (x[,1], x[,2], xlab='Birthday (day of the year, 1=January 1)', 
 ylab='Draft rank (1=first chosen)', col='red')
dev.off();

For the record, here is a copy of the raw data:
