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): >

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.

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

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

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. When I try prof <- c('Accountant', 'Administrative assistant', 'Garment worker', 'Cook', 'Dentist', 'General practictioner', 'Graduate student', 'High level

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

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

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

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) @

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

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.

Running R 1.8.1 on a Windows machine In dotchart, I would like to shrink the labels on the tick marks (that is, the numbers) without shrinking anything else. I could not find this in either the Rhelp archives or in ?dotchart, which recmmends cex to avoid 'label overlap', but cex shrinks all the characters in the plot. Is there a way to do this? Thanks Peter Peter L. Flom, PhD

I'm just learning to work with R, and am having some difficulty controlling the output of my dotplot. The default order of the function dotchart seems to be the largest value on the bottom and the smallest on the top. I wanted it in the opposite order (which is how my data frame is currently sorted), so I used the following approach, which works orderidx <- order(b2000$RR)
