Hi: I am practicing with the attached shapefile and was wondering if I can get some help. Haven't used 'rgdal' and 'maptools' much but it appears to be a great way bring map data into R. Please take a look at the comments and let me know if I need to explain better what I am trying to accomplish. library(rgdal) library(maptools) library(ggplot2) dsn="C:/Documents and

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

Is there any way to control the spacing between bars in a histogram, or change the border width (I'm assuming the hist() function, though alternatives are welcome)? I'm interested in changing the visual spacing between columns in a plotted histogram. The general effect I'm looking for can be accomplished in barplots using the "width=" parameter, but I have not been able

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

Hi, I have a data frame with variables a, b, c (character vars) and t (time var, could be represented as POSIXct or character, depending on which is most useful. The format is "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss CET"). Now, I want to sort the data frame in ascending order by a, b, c and then in descending order by t. Here's what I've got, but I'm not sure how to put the

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 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. D. Trenkler "a" <- structure(c(103.35, 36.73, 55.09,

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): >

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,

What is the best way to sort a dataframe? For example, how would I go about sorting a dataframe (with variables V1-V5) by ascending V1, V2 and descending V3 while retaining V4 and V5. Also, is there a relatively easy way by which to re-order my columns? Thank you for your time. Marc Marc Zodet [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

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) @

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

Dear friends, I want to sort a dataset according to one or two variables in the dataset, i thought sort could do it , but failed. e.g. x <- c(2, 9, 18, 3, 2) y<-c(2,5.6,5,9,8) z<-c(21,5,5,19,7) a<-cbind(x,y,z) a x y z [1,] 2 2.0 21 [2,] 9 5.6 5 [3,] 18 5.0 5 [4,] 3 9.0 19 [5,] 2 8.0 7 I want to sort dataset a according to ascending x and descending y, How to

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 am a complete newbie in R . Using R 2.2.0 Windows XP This started as a simple exercise to see if I could produce a simple Cleveland style dotchart with a line from the '2' axis to the dot rather than a continuous line as do "dotchart" and "dotchart2". At least I could not find that option. I got a crude program to work but it includes unnecessary steps.
