HI everyone Does anayone know how to add group labels to dot charts>From the R code belowa<-read.table("test2", sep="\t", header=TRUE) dotchart(as.matrix(t()), main="test") it generates from the datafile input below, file test2 containing: A B C D E 1 1 1 1 0.2068594 1 0.2386699 1 1 0.3959740 1 0.3965243 1 1 1.0000000 1 1.0000000 1 1 0.3329179 1 1.0000000 1 1 0.4873605 It gives by default the group labels "1","2","3","4" and "5" How do I change the group labels from the default "1","2","3","4" and "5" to something more useful say "place1","place2", "place3", "place4", "place5" A BIG thanks in advance!
No idea what this dotchart is actually meant to visualize but naming the columns of the data matrix gives you names for your groups which are also used to label the plot. ?dimnames ?colnames HTH Jannis On 02/28/2011 06:13 PM, David Lyon wrote:> HI everyone > > > Does anayone know how to add group labels to dot charts > > From the R code below > > > a<-read.table("test2", sep="\t", header=TRUE) > dotchart(as.matrix(t()), main="test") > > > it generates from the datafile input below, > > file test2 containing: > A B C D E > 1 1 1 1 0.2068594 > 1 0.2386699 1 1 0.3959740 > 1 0.3965243 1 1 1.0000000 > 1 1.0000000 1 1 0.3329179 > 1 1.0000000 1 1 0.4873605 > > > It gives by default the group labels "1","2","3","4" and "5" > > How do I change the group labels from the default "1","2","3","4" and "5" to something more useful say "place1","place2", "place3", "place4", "place5" > > A BIG thanks in advance! > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >
