R help - Jul 2010 - How to Plot With Different Marker ( ‘x’ and ‘o’) Based on Condition in R

Dear Expert,

I have a data that looks like this:

for_y_axis <-c(0.49534,0.80796,0.93970,0.99998)
for_x_axis <-c(1,2,3,4)
count      <-c(0,33,0,4)

What I want to do is to plot the graph using "for_x_axis" and
"for_y_axis" but will mark
each point with "o" if the value is equal to 0(zero) and with
"x" if
the "count" value is greater than zero.

Is there a simple way to achieve that in R?

Regards,

Here's one way:

  .pch <- ifelse(count > 0, "x", "o")
  plot(for_x_axis, for_y_axis, pch = .pch)

or you might prefer

  plot(for_x_axis, for_y_axis, pch = .pch, family = "mono")
