similar to: advice for alternative to barchart

I would like to create a barchart that has vertical instead of horizontal bars. My goal is something similar to Figure 6.10 (p. 166) in "The Basics of S and S-plus," except for the orientation of the bars. I don't think bwplot() or xyplot() will work. Any suggestions?

R-helpers: I need a quick help with the following graph (I'm a lattice newbie): require("lattice") npp=1:5 names(npp)=c("A","B","C","D","E") barchart(npp,origin=0,box.width=1) # What I want to do, is add a single vertical line positioned at x = 2 that lays over the bars (say, using a dotted line). How do I go about doing this?

barchart(Titanic, stack=F) produces a very nice horizontal barchart. Each panel has four groups of two bars. barchart(Titanic, stack=F, horizontal=F) doesn't produce the results I would have expected, as it produces this warning message: Warning message: y should be numeric in: bwplot.formula(x = as.formula(form), data = list(Class = c(1, And it results in each panel having 22 groups of

Hello, I am attempting to write a script that adds error bars to a barchart. I basing my attempt heavily on the following thread: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e2/help/06/10/2791.html I can't seem to get around the problem that was discussed in the thread. The following example should illustrate my problem. Sorry about the messy example but I am 1) trying to make it as close as possible

I am attempting to produce a bar chart and am having some trouble with the panel.barchart command. The definition of X is that it's the "proper extent of the bar". Is that the maximum value? Or is it the labels for my vertical axis, since the axes seem to be switched for this command? Is there a better/different command I should be using for barcharts (i.e. barplot)? Thanks for your

Dear R Users, I have a basis question regarding the use of color in the lattice package. I read the ?barchart help page and searched the R archives but could not understand how to do it. I just need to plot a barchart using specific colors for my groups, e.g. green and red instead of the default lattice colors. How do I do that? If I say: barchart(x ~ a_factor, groups=my_groups,

Dear all, I have two factors 'country' and 'status' which I would like to plot via barchart (lattice). 'status' consist of three different levels and should be the grouping variable, i.e. there should be drawn three different panels and within each panel a barchart of 'country'. barchart(daten$COUNTRY|daten$STATUS),

Hello! I have a question about my lattice barchart that I am trying to build in Section 3 below. I can't figure out a couple of things: 1. When I look at the dataframe "test" that I am trying to plot, it looks right to me (the group "Total" is always the first out of 5). However, in the chart it is the last. Why? 2. How can I make sure the value labels (on y) are not

I have a data frame with two factors and want to create panel barcharts with one factor defining the panels and the other the vertical categories by which I can count the rows of data in each combination of factors. How do I do this? I have been trying to use barchart(~factor1|factor2) but it does not give the panels as I want them. The data looks like this: Factor1 Factor2 A y B

Hallo, What is the right way to get vertical bars in a barchart? For instance barchart(VADeaths, key=simpleKey(colnames(VADeaths),points=F,rectangles=T)) gives what I need, only I would like the bars to be vertical. But barchart(VADeaths,horizontal=F, key=simpleKey(colnames(VADeaths),points=F,rectangles=T)) does not give what I need, and I do not understand how to change the

When I use barchart (with default formatting options), I get bars whose lengths/heights are not proportional to their value. For example: http://drop.io/wbagm6s/asset/capture-png Many of the values in this chart are 1; however, because the blue bars extend to the left of the "0" tick mark, those bars appear to represent higher numeric values. Is there a way to make the length of the

Dear R-users, i want to plot gene regulation data in a lattice barchart. To illustrate the problem i encounter, the following code uses the "barley"dataset: library(lattice) barley[["SD"]] <- 5 PLOT <- barchart(data=barley, yield~variety|site, groups=year,origin=0, as.table=TRUE, scales=list(x=list(relation="same", rot=30), y=list(alternating=3,tck=-1)),

I am new at R and have a simple problem, I think. I have a matrix: [,1] [,2] [,3] a .5 2 .4 b 4 3.4 4 c 4 4 2 I want a barchart with the [,1] column plotted as the left-most group on a vertical bar chart or as the top group on a horizontal chart. However the plotting order is , [,3] [,2] [,1]. I also am having a problem getting the rows to plot on a

I am trying to add confidence (error) bars to lattice barcharts (and dotplots, and xyplots). I found this helpful message from Deepayan Sarkar and based teh code below on it: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/50299.html However, I can't get it to work with groups, as illustrated. I am sure I am missing something elementary, but I am unsure what. Using R 2.1.1 on various

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble adding error bars to a grouped barchart in lattice. I know that this topic has been addressed quite a bit, as I've been searching the internet for a while to try to troubleshoot the issue, but I've not been able to find any solution that I could get working on my data. I was wondering if someone could look at my code and tell me what I'm doing

Hi, I have a barchart very similar to the example on the function documetation, however, I want to sort the bars according one group in one panel. Reminding: library(lattice) barchart(yield ~ variety | site, data = barley, groups = year, layout = c(1,6), ylab = "Barley Yield (bushels/acre)", auto.key=list(), scales = list(x = list(abbreviate = TRUE,

Folks at R help, I can't quite get the panel function to work the way I want within barchart. I guess I'm still not understanding how to piece together multiple panel arguments, especially when "groups" is specified. Example: I want to be able to add the value of "yield" to each section of each bar in this graph: barchart(yield ~ variety | site, data = barley,

Hi, Is there a way to stack bars in a barchart as well as "beside" bars for the same treatment? eg.... I have one barchart like this: bio<-matrix(c(10,23,9,25),nrow=2,byrow=T) ntreat<-c("n0","n96") colnames(bio)<-ntreat barplot(bio,beside=T) now i want a similar barchart but with stacked bars:

Hi all, I am using barchart() to plot values above the bars. When using groups argument we get bars grouped arround a given x level. By placing values above this bars we need to know the respective x coordinates. How can I get it? require(lattice) da <- expand.grid(x=1:5, z=1:3, w=1:2) da$y <- rpois(da$x, lambda=23) barchart(y~x|w, groups=z, data=da, horizontal=FALSE,

Dear all, I'm trying to use the lattice barchart function to obtain a bar plot of a variable for different values of two factors. The thing I'm trying to do is something like this: > barchart(MyVar ~ season | place, data=mydataset) My problem is that the column MyVar has some negative values and I would like them to be represented as bars stacking down from zero instead of what
