R program visualization + How to plot between categorical and numerical data

Question

I want to develop a visualization graph with date in x axis and A,B,C values in Y axis. A value categorical data and B,c are numerical data. In the x axis, date should be represented in month and day like (01/07, 02/07). The problem here is A value is categorical data and B value is numerical data. The visualization charts should not be of bar type.It is like scatter plots.

I didn't know how to do this one. Your help would be highly appreciable. Thanks.

I tried this code. It works good for one value like B.. when I try to plot C value along with B, the graph seems different .

 library(scales)
 library(ggplot2)
 ggplot(df, aes(x = Date, y = B)) +
 geom_line(aes(y=B,group=1),colour="#000099") +
 geom_point(size=2, colour="#CC0000") +   
 scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(0, 50, by = 1)) + 
 scale_x_datetime(date_breaks = "2 day")

Here's one possible way to do it. I am not sure if this is ideal but hopefully helps in your case:

Using Markers

#library(devtools)
#install_github("ropensci/plotly")

library(plotly)
library(zoo)

df$Date <- as.yearmon(df$Date)
df$Date <- as.Date(df$Date)

plot_ly(df, x = ~Date) %>% 
    add_markers(y = ~B, marker = list(size = 15, symbol = "cross"), 
                name = "B") %>% 

    add_markers(y = ~C, marker = list(size = 10, symbol = "circle"),
                name = "C") %>% 

    add_markers(y = ~A, marker = list(size = 20, symbol = "diamond-open"),
                name = "A", yaxis = "y2") %>% 

    layout(xaxis = list(domain = c(0, 0.9)),
           yaxis2 = list(side = "right", anchor = "xaxis", overlaying = "y", title = "A"),
           yaxis = list(title = "B/C"))

Using lines

#library(devtools)
#install.github("ropensci/plotly")

library(plotly)

df$x <- 1:nrow(df)
df$Date <- as.character(as.Date(df$Date))

plot_ly(df, x = ~x) %>% 

    add_lines(y = ~B, line = list(width = 5), opacity = "0.5",
              name = "B") %>% 

    add_lines(y = ~C, line = list(width = 5, dash = "5px"),
              name = "C") %>% 

    add_markers(y = ~A, marker = list(size = 15, symbol = "cross"),
                name = "A", yaxis = "y2") %>% 

    layout(xaxis = list(domain = c(0, 0.9), title = "",
                        tickmode = "array",
                        tickvals = ~x,
                        ticktext = ~Date,
                        tickfont = list(size = 10)),
           yaxis2 = list(side = "right", anchor = "xaxis", overlaying = "y", title = "A"),
           yaxis = list(title = "B/C"))
