...ame proportions as the scaled variable. Hereby an example we found on http://www.r-bloggers.com/bubble-chart-by-using-ggplot2/ . In this example we see the proportions of the symbols' area are different from the proportions of the scaled variable: crime <- read.csv("http://datasets.flowingdata.com/crimeRatesByState2008.csv", header=TRUE, sep="\t") p <- ggplot(crime, aes(murder,burglary,size=population, label=state)) p <- p+geom_point(colour="red") +scale_area(to=c(1,20))+geom_text(size=3) Example: proportion population Pennsylvania/Tennessee= 2.003 propor...

...ng a problem when using heatmap. Even though the diagonal of my matrix is all the same value, the diagonal of my heatmap is not all the same color. Any suggestions?

Hey, I'm trying to build something like this http://flowingdata.com/2011/05/11/how-to-map-connections-with-great-circles/ but with my own data in csv files.

Hello All, I am running the following code in RStudio, and I keep on getting an error message that says: "Error in plot.new() : figure margins too large" Is there something that I am doing wrong? # Import Data nba <- read.csv("http://datasets.flowingdata.com/ppg2008.csv", sep=",") nba #Sort Data (sorting by Points, but could be sorting by any other variable) nba <- nba[order(nba$PTS),] #Prepare Data: makes rows by player name instead of Row Number row.names(nba) <- nba$Name #Prepare Data: don't need first column anymore,...

I have to create a number of bubble plots, and am wondering what methods folks prefer for this task. I've been experimenting with the symbols() function, with text() to provide plot labels. Any opinions on the relative merits of this method versus others? One criterion would be the ability to fine-tune the placement of text labels. I would like to use lattice, but haven't found a way to

All, Does there exist an R equivalent of the MATLAB function "bubbleplot3"? Semi-naive Googleing has thus far revealed no such package to me. Your insight is appreciated! Regards, TJM [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello! I would like to make a scatterplot of my data, but the problem is that several points have the same x and y values and are represented as only one point. I wonder if there is a way to represent the data points, but with point size representing the frequency of the depicted x-y value? Thank you! -- View this message in context:

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out a way to create a data graphic that I haven't ever seen an example of before, but hopefully there's an R package out there for it. The idea is to essentially create a heatmap, but to allow each column and/or row to be a different width, rather than having uniform column and row height. This is sort of like a Marimekko chart in appearance, except that
