R help - Jan 2008 - stripchart

hi,
   
  I want to plot a dotplot graph but unfortunately R does not have it any more.
It suggest to use either the stripchart or the dotchart and i prefer to play
around with the stripchart graph. Sadly, the result is not like i want where
I'm actually wants the plots/points were scattered around the x-axis. Plus,
from the results shows that and the x-axis gave a very large scale, i.e
5.0e+0.7. How am i going to change this scale and to change the colour or
symbols where i can show the difference of the sample data. Any suggestion??
   
   two sample data:

  R-command:
   
   stripchart(e,method="stack",col="green",add=F,at=0.0)
 stripchart(f,method="stack",col="blue",add=T,at=0.0)


  Thanks in advance.

Have a look at stripplot in lattice. I think it may do
what you want if you cbind e & f and then create an
identifier to plot against.

stripplot(bb[,2]~bb[,1])
