similar to: colours in dotchart (PR#4343)

Dear R users, using dotplot (R1.2.0, WinNT4.0), I am trying to change the character size of the labels of the points: > # example > data(VADeaths) > dotplot(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940") > # I'd like to have smaller character size of the labels (for age and population groups) > ?dotplot > # for argument "cex", this says:

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

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

Hi all, I would like to ask you for help. I did a dotplot - using dotchart function. There are two localites (loc) with values 75 or 56 in my data ZZ. The f column has 4 levels: P1, S1, S8, R6. The dataframe is ordered by N value, pchloc value is assign to use "pch" in plot. > head(ZZ) loc f N color ordered pchloc 98 75 S1 6.39 green 1 16 99 75 S8 6.44 blue

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

There seems to be a bug in "dotplot" concerning the "cex" parameter. Setting cex has no effect on the character size of the labels of the points. This problem was posted to r-help today (Thu, 18 Jan 2001); the solution given by Brian Ripley (and Uwe Ligges) seems to work for me. Heinrich Rinner. > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86

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

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

Hi all: Suppose there're 3 groups,and I wanna compare the result of the 3 groups. I've drawn a boxplot.But I wanna show the actural data points of each group at the same time.In other words I wanna combine the boxplot and dotchart together. How can I do it? Thanks a lot! My best.

Dear all, I'm trying to produce two dotcharts side-by-side within a Sweave document. When I'm compiling this example: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} <<fig=T,width=8,height=4>>= par(mfrow = c(1, 2), cex = 0.7) for(i in 1:2) dotchart(1:10) @ <<fig=T,width=8,height=4>>= par(mfrow = c(1, 2), cex = 0.7) for(i in 1:2) hist(1:10) @
