similar to: barplot of a table

I have found a bug/feature with barplot that at least to me shows undesireable behaviour. When using barplot and plotting fewer groups/levels/factors(I am unsure what they are called) than the number of colors stated in a col statement, the colors wrap around such that the colors are not fixed to one group. This is mostly problematic when I make R figures using scripts, since I sometimes have

Is the width= parameter in barplot() supposed to work? I couldn't get it to work in my plot, and even in the example, data(VADeaths, package = "base") barplot(VADeaths, width=rep(0.1, 4)) the plot looks identical regardless of what I put in for the width. I looked at the source for barplot() and it looks like it SHOULD work (but what do I know). Am I doing something wrong?

Hello all, When using the 'barplot' function, how would one go about creating labels on the top of the bars corresponding to the actual frequency values (i.e., the height of the bar). For histograms, one can use the 'LABEL=T' parameter to this effect, but it is not available for barplot. Must one manually create such labels for a barplot (perhaps using mtext)? Thanks.

R-help Is there any option to get closer the x-axis and names.arg from barplot? Thank you Luis Ridao Cruz Fiskiranns??knarstovan N??at??n 1 P.O.

Hi, a couple of simple graphics questions: 1. I have a little function that makes bar plots. Now I would like to limit the Y-axis outside this function (that means after calling the barplot() command) depending on the data to be plotted . Does anyone know how to do this ??? 2. When using barplot() and limiting the yAxis, R draws the bars below the x-axis. How can I avoid this problem ??

Dear R-help, Can some one explain why barplot() uses changing colors in the bars by default? I should think that most of the time when people draw barplots, they want the bars to be in the same color. (At least that's what I'd expect. The first time I used barplot() in R, I was shocked to see the colors.) As an example, one example in ?layout draws a scatterplot with histograms drawn

Dear all As a new user of R, can someone please help me with the following I have created a programme to analyse laboratory data and one of the graphs is a bar plot of 'Z' scores. On the bar plot I am using the following line to plot some results barplot (zb[,c("ZBW")], ylim = c(-6,6), names.arg=zb[,c("LabNo")],xlab="Lab Code Number", cex.names = .5 ,

how to add value on the bar ploted by barplot()? and the axis label is too big, anyone know how to change their font , thanks -- Xiaogang Yang Sensorweb Research Laboratory http://sensorweb.vancouver.wsu.edu/ Washington State University Vancouver [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

Hello everyone! I need to include the confidence interval bar in a grouped barplot. I've found some options on the web, but none of them solved my problem. The question is: my barplot was created using vectors for each pair of bar and them combining them using cbind. I mean: a=c(10,15) b=c(20,24) c=c(21,23) ... hei=cbind(a,b,c) graph1=barplot(hei, beside=T,...) I've tried to include

Hello, r-help at r-project.orgbarplot(twcons.area, beside=T, col=c("green4", "blue", "red3", "gray"), xlab="estate", ylab="number of persons", ylim=c(0, 110), legend.text=c("treated", "mix", "untreated", "NA")) produces a barplot very fine. In addition, I'd like to get the

Hi, I have two somewhat embarassing questions about the lattice-related plot functions: 1.) How do I make lattice (e.g. barchart) to not draw a box but only a y-axis on the left hand side so that the plot looks like barplot with default settings? So that the following two code snippets look more alike: barplot(VADeaths) library(reshape) vad <- melt(data.frame(VADeaths,

Hi R newbie here :) I need to plot 3 barplots in the same axis, something like | | _ _ _ | | | _ | | _ | | _ | _ | || | _ | || | _ | || | | | || || | | || || | | || || | -+----------------------------------------- | v1 v2 v3 Is there any documentation describing how to achieve that, and

I'm trying to generate some plots for print publication and I'm having trouble getting them the way I want. I get a plot with a legend that overlaps the bars and looks bad. Also, I'm saving this as PDF file (whatever happened to the "png" function to save as PNG format, in r 1.4.1?) I've tried a number of things, which produce a number of questions. 1) it seems that the

I`ve read all the manuals and still couln`t find what is the difference between the stacked and side-by-side barplots ? Could you explain me ? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R graphics gurus, Another question about lattice graphics. This time I would like to plot means and confidence intervals by group factor in a lattice graph. I can not find any working lattice examples. Maybe a custom panel function is the answer, but that is a bit beyond me for now. The individual plots within the lattice graph could look like this: # Example with confidence intervals

Estimados compañeros, estoy dando vueltas a cómo poner los nombres de las provincias para que se sepa el valor que corresponde a cada una en el siguiente código: barplot(table(dg$prov), xlab="provincias", ylab="Frecuencia") Recuerdo que hubo un mensaje en el foro sobre el parámetro srt=90 para poner los títulos en vertical , pero no logro manejarlo. Gracias, Juan --

Dear Richard,? Thank you very much for your reply. I went through the code and it worked. I was also able to change the colours.? I was wondering if I can change the legend position; instead of being in the bottom to be on the left side.? I tried the following but without any success strip = FALSE strip.right = TRUE likert(t(hellisheidi), ReferenceZero=.5, xlab="X-lab",

Hello! I promise I looked into help files before asking. Still cannot figure it out. I think it's because I am totally confused what packages use lettice, which use trellis, etc. Sections 1 and 2 below produce the data and the data to plot. My question is about barplot in Section 3. I am trying to: 1. add only horizontal gridlines and manipulate the type and color of that line. tck = 1 is not
