I would like to draw a graph where the y-lables are missing but the
marks still present.
In this example, I get marks from 20000 to 140 000 with increments of
20 000. I could use `plot(... yaxt="n"...)` combined with `axis(2,
at..., label="")` but this needs to know exactly the sequence of marks
provided by plot. But this sequence might change.
Thus is there a way to plot the marks without labels?
Also, is it possible to draw the marks on the right side?
Thank you.
```
y = c(42008, 19076, 150576, 48192, 26153, 37931, 36103, 17692,
61538,41027, 71052, 94571)
df = data.frame(X = c(rep(0, 6), rep(25, 6)), Y = y)
stripchart(df$Y ~ df$X,
method = "jitter", offset=1/3,
vertical = TRUE, las=1,
pch=16, cex=2,
ylab="Y", xlab="X",
main="Example")
```
Hi
Do you mean like this ... ?
stripchart(df$Y ~ df$X,
method = "jitter", offset=1/3,
vertical = TRUE, las=1,
pch=16, cex=2,
ylab="Y", xlab="X",
main="Example",
axes=FALSE)
box()
axis(1)
axis(2, labels=FALSE)
axis(4, labels=FALSE)

Luigi:
For base R graphics, you should always consult ?par for optional graphical
parameters when the high level graphics function doesn't appear to provide
the control you would like. I don't use base graphics -- i.e. i"m not
particularly facile with it -- but as you provided an example, I decided to
try to help. I think this is what you may want:
stripchart(
Y ~ X, data = df, ## better way to specify data instead of $
method = "jitter", offset=1/3,
vertical = TRUE, las=1,
pch=16, cex=2,
ylab="Y", xlab="X",
yaxt= "n", ## don't plot y axes
main="Example")
## Now add y axis on right with default tick mark locations
axis(side = 4, labels = FALSE)
How I got this (you may find this useful to modify the above if I didn't
get what you wanted) was as follows:
stripchart() does not seem to allow the direct control over the axes you
want. The 'axes' parameter help in ?stripchart sent me to?par to see if
I
could specify an axis on the right instead of on the left, but it did not
seem to provide such an option. So I decided to use what the yaxt parameter
described to omit the y axis in the high level (stripchart) call, and then
add it back with a subsequent call to axis(). I just used default tick
locations in that call, but you can specify them explicitly as ?axis
describes
Again, if this is not what you wanted, I hope you can use the above to
modify stripchart() to your desired specification.
Cheers,
Bert
