Hello! Suppose I have three charts like below. The top chart is a general overview and the bottom charts are related so some point of this chart. To make clear this relationship I want to draw a line between (4,0.9) in the top chart and (10,1) in the bottom-left one. Currently I add it manually using Inkscape on the resulting pdf file. Is it possible to add it inside R? Should I switch to other charting packages?
You'll have your work cut out using traditional graphics, but this is doable in grid-based graphics. For example, ...
library(grid) library(lattice) set.seed(123) print(xyplot(runif(10)~1:10, type="b"), position=c(0, .5, 1, 1), prefix="top", more=TRUE) print(xyplot(runif(20)~1:20, type="l"), position=c(0, 0, .5, .5), prefix="left", more=TRUE) print(xyplot(runif(20)~1:20, type="l"), position=c(.5, 0, 1, .5), prefix="right") trellis.focus("panel", 1, 1, prefix="top") grid.move.to(unit(4, "native"), unit(.9, "native")) trellis.unfocus() trellis.focus("panel", 1, 1, prefix="left", clip.off=TRUE) grid.line.to(unit(10, "native"), unit(1, "native")) trellis.unfocus() Paul
Thanks for the advice! mario set.seed(123) pdf("test.pdf", width=14, height=7) layout(matrix(c(1,1,2,3), 2, 2, byrow = TRUE)) plot(runif(10), type='b') plot(runif(20), type='l') plot(runif(20), type='l') dev.off() R 2.12.2 on Windows 7 (32bits)
