I propose to replace add a ... argument to stripchart(),
and to modiffy the following code fragment as shown.
[The only changes are the addition of ... arguments
in two calls to axis()]
plot(xlim, ylim, type = "n", ann = FALSE, axes = FALSE)
box()
if (vertical) {
if (n > 1)
axis(1, at = 1:n, lab = names(groups), ...) # ... argument added
axis(2)
}
else {
axis(1)
if (n > 1)
axis(2, at = 1:n, lab = names(groups), ...) # ... argument added
}
Then one can do the following:
data(PlantGrowth)
attach(PlantGrowth)
stripchart(weight~group, las=2)
or
stripchart(weight~group, vertical=TRUE, las=2)
This is often the most effective way to deal with the problem
of overlapping labels, so that some labels do not appear.
