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

I would like to draw a set of points that are equally spaced in a 2-D grid. Then I would like to draw lines that illustrate different directed paths through subsets of points. Imagine that the points correspond to booths in a conference center, and I want to show the various paths people took to visit the booths (using color to highlight different types of paths). An example path might be: [(1,1),

How can I write text inside a bar of a barplot? I tried using text(), but I am only able to specify the numeric y-coordinate. The different columns of my barplot correspond to factors and not numbers, so I don't know how to access the horizontal positions of the bars. I tried fiddling with different values of the "adj" argument, but this appears unreliable. Background: I have

Let's say I have data in the following schema that describes the number of purchases a company has received from each County in the US: State | County | Purchases --------------------------------------- NJ | Mercer | 550 CA | Orange | 23 .... I would like to visualize what states contribute the most to the overall total, and furthermore within those states, what Counties contribute the most.

Hi, I just started using R and am having trouble with the below error: I type: > df <- read.csv("/home/rex/Desktop/mytable.csv") which gives me what I want: ... 639 2006-05-26 16:46:54 4 16 640 2006-05-26 17:05:36 5 17 641 2006-05-26 17:30:48 6 17 But now I try: > plot(df[4],df[3]) Error in pmatch(x, table, duplicates.ok) : argument is not of

Hi, I just downloaded R, and am wondering about data sources. Where do people typically get their data for analysis? It seems to me most people would have their data somehow automatically gathered and stored in an SQL database (e.g. MySQL), but this seems not to be the case. Does everyone just use the plain-text tab-separated values format? If so, how are these tables typically created in the

Hello, I just installed Instant Rails on my Windows XP box. I would like to test out the Ruby interpreter on the command line. However, when I run C:\InstantRails\ruby\bin\ruby.exe from the Windows command prompt, it hangs. Any ideas on how I can get a Ruby command line?

Sorry for posting this twice, but I still have not solved this problem and am hoping for some assistance. I am attempting to write a function that is flexible enough to respond to the user providing a formula (with a data= argument) or not (similar to plot(x,y) versus plot(y~x,data=data)). I have found a method to work with this in a simple case but am having trouble determining how to

Dear list, I've written a function that plots subjects. Something like: myplot <- function(subject) { plot(subject) } Subjects are vectors, e.g. ... s1 <- c(200,200,190,180) ... and plotting them works fine, e.g. ... myplot(s1) Now I want to have "s1" etc appear in the plot title, but I don't know how to refer to this generically (the object "name"? I tried

Hello all, I'm trying to write a function using the gridBase package. I'd like to push several base subplots to a larger plot constructed with grid. However, I'm having trouble getting consistent results when running the function when the plotting window (quartz) is closed, when it is left open and the plot function is repeated to the same window, and when the output is saved to a

Hi, I've written a function in order to plot the same graph in a postcript and in a pdf file. Unfortunately, the second graph is always empty, i.e.: plot.both <- function{myplot, filename}{ pdf(file=paste(filename, ".pdf", sep="")) myplot dev.off() postscript(file=paste(filename, ".eps", sep="")) myplot dev.off() } yields in a

Hi, I'm confused about the use of ellipsis in function arguments. I'm trying to write a wrapper for plot to automate the combination of plot() and points() calls for a data.frame. Some arguments seem to get passed through to the inner plot, while others cause an error: Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : ..1 used in an incorrect context, no ... to look in As a minimal example: tmp

Hi, Please consider the example below. How can I manage to overlay the points the way I want in the second case? Thanks, Joh library(ggplot2) # Modify data to match "real" case myDiamonds <- diamonds myDiamonds[["clarity"]] <- as.character(myDiamonds[["clarity"]]) myDiamonds[myDiamonds[["clarity"]]=="I1","clarity"] <- 1

Dear R-helpers, I have a number of dataframes that looks something like this: mydfr <- data.frame(treatment=c(rep("A",3),rep("B",3)), Xmeas=1:6, Ymeas=c(2,4,3,3,5,6)) # except with many more variables, which I plot all the time colored by treatment to quickly check things: with(mydfr, plot(Xmeas, Ymeas, pch=19, col=c("blue","red")[treatment])) # I

Hello, Is it possible to call a graphing function that uses layout() multiple times and layout those outputs ? Here's a minimal example : myplot <- function() { layout(matrix(1:2, nrow=1), widths = c(1, 1)) plot(1:10) plot(10:1) } layout(matrix(1:2), heights = c(1, 2)) myplot() myplot() -------------------------------------- Dario Strbenac Research Assistant Cancer Epigenetics Garvan

Hi, I'm a new user trying to switch from SAS, so sorry for the beginner's question: Suppose I have a dataframe DF that contains variables X,Y,Z. I am trying to write a function like this: myplot <- function(varname){xyplot(varname ~ Y, group = Z, data = DF)}. The problem is then how to enter X into my function. If I write myplot("X") I get an error because the argument is a

Using R-1.1.1 on RedHatLinux 6.2. I've made some progress, succeeded in outputting bitmap, jpeg, and png files. Yipee. I did them with this command: > dev2bitmap("whatever.bmp",res=300) > dev.print(png, file="myplot.png", width=480, height=480) > dev.print(jpeg, file="myplot.jpg", width=480, height=480) > dev.print(pictex,

I don't have time now to investigate myself, and I'm not feeling like deciding myself if the following is a bug: myplot <- function(dat, cex = 1.2, ...) { if(!is.data.frame(dat <- as.data.frame(dat))) stop("`dat' must be a data.frame") if(any(is.na(match(c("x","y"), names(dat))))) stop("`dat' must have a `x' and a

Dear List, yes, me again trying to work with qplot ;-) I would like to make several single plots within a loop, like this (simplified and so on...): trials <- c("A","B","C") mycolours <- ("wheat","darkolivegreen","lightgreen",
