I am a bit confused about the different approaches taken to recycling in plain data frames and zoo objects. When carrying out simple arithmetic, dataframe seem to recycle single arguments, zoo objects do not. Here is an example > x <- data.frame(a=1:5*2, b=1:5*3) > x a b 1 2 3 2 4 6 3 6 9 4 8 12 5 10 15 > x$a/x$a[1] [1] 1 2 3 4 5 > x <- zoo(x) > x$a/x$a[1] 1 1 >

With an ordinary plot, to customise the axis it is possible to suppress drawing the axis and then call Axis. I have been trying to change the location of the y-axis on a plot.table plot to the right hand side, but cannot even work out how to suppress drawing the labels. Here is a toy example of the sort of plot I am working with. Any suggestions as to how to have the axis on the right hand side

I have been plotting the same charts using png on a Windows machine and on a Mac OSX and the quality of the resulting images, particularly in relation to the fonts, look far superior in the plots produced on the Mac. Is there any way I can enhance the quality of the plots produced on the Windows machine? I have also tried using win.metafile on the Windows machine and the quality looks the same as

Dear useRs, How can I draw a barplot, but instead of bars, I'd get lines? Thanks, Kind regards, Rafael. ____________________________________________________________________________________ [[elided Yahoo spam]] [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm having an sorting problem in dotchart. I want to change the order of the BA in groups to AB, but I haven't found any solution yet. What should I do? And what if I want to change the groups order as well? At the bottom from Conrol up to 10 mg/L on the top. Thank you! x = c(39, 23, 23, 35, 30, 26, 30, 30, 29, 29, 26, 29, 34, 33) y = c("Control", "DMSO", "0,1

I have some data which I would like to display with dotchart. The labels are very long, so the chart becomes too small. Setting cex=0.7 seems to be a good compromise, but the gap between the text and the chart still is too large. I did not find a "gap" parameter in the description of dotchart... Thanks for any help.

My earlier posting should have said "dotchart", not "barchart". 1)  How does one show confidence-intervals in a "dotchart" and use rownames for labels on the y-axes?  I have looked at "plotCI" in "gregmisc" package . But it does not seem to produce something like a dotchart.  The statistic, error, upper-bound, and lower-bound are in a

Given this example mean.values<-colMeans(VADeaths) mean.values<-apply(VADeaths, 2, mean) median.values<-apply(VADeaths, 2, median) dotchart(VADeaths, gdata=mean.values) dotchart(VADeaths, gdata=median.values) is it possible to ?combine? a single dotchart showing both the mean and the median for each single group (with different plotting symbols)? ?is it that possible with the use of

I have a factor vector of subject races (Asian, Black, Hispanic, White; n=30) that I want to plot with a Cleveland dotplot or dotchart. I tried the following in R2.12.1 : > dotchart(table(school$Race)) Error in plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), type = type, ...) : invalid plot type Using the same data set in R2.11.1 the operation succeeded (I tried several variations to be sure): >

Sorry to keep asking elementary questions......I appreciate the help. I am trying to create a dotchart with the rows sorted according to the values, rather than the labels.

Dear List, With the R 2.12.0 addition of table methods for points(), dotchart() struggles with tables. I found several possible solutions, but it is beyond my skill to decide what is "best". Here is a small example: ############################################# x <- table(infert$education) y <- 1:3L dotchart(x) # error about incorrect plot type ## moving closer to the cause,

I am trying to put 3 dotcharts side-by-side with minimal space between each. Each chart is for a different variable, but the vertical axes are the same. I want to have vertical axis labels on the lefthand chart but no vertical axis labels on the other two. Plus, I would like very little space between charts 1 & 2 and between charts 2 & 3. I have one approach but am not too happy with

I have been experimenting with various approaches to plotting (irregular) time-series with reasonable success. One thing I have been able to do is change the number of tick marks on the axis. Consider the following simple example: > x <- as.data.frame(matrix(ncol=2,nrow=500)) > names(x) <- c("dates","values") > x$dates <- as.POSIXct(Sys.time()+1:500*86400)

Problem: neither fg or bg nor color work properly in dotchart. version: R-1.7.1 for windows code which shows the errors: x <- matrix(rnorm(16),ncol=2,dimnames=list(paste("a",1:8,sep=""),c("before","afte r"))) dotchart(x,fg="blue",bg="lightgrey") dotchart(x,color=c("red","blue")) Dr Ian J Wilson Lecturer in

Hello, In trying to minimize the margin on the left hand side when using dotchart I found what may be a typo in the code. In the lines below from dotchart.R, should nmai[4L] be nmai[2L]? if (!(is.null(labels) && is.null(glabels))) { nmai <- par("mai") nmai[2L] <- nmai[4L] + max(linch + goffset, ginch) + 0.1 par(mai = nmai) } Thank you, Stephen Weigand --

I'm trying to create a dotplot with some grouping. I've been able to create what I want using dotchart (basic graphics), but can't quite get it using dotplot (lattice). I prefer to use lattice (or ggplot2) because I think it's a bit easier to control some other aspects of the plot appearance. Basically, w/ lattice I've not been able to get the y-axis label to include the

Hi, I am trying to plot the following data so that it can be visually represented well. I tried the dotchart but I felt it was too spread out. Then I tried the barplot which is good enough for me. Is there a way to give the labels for the y-axis as in the dot chart? Also, I feel the grey level is confusing, so is there options for designs within the bars? I cannot use color as the journal wants
