Are you sure you are using the data set mtcars? That data set doesn't have variables Na or K nor does it look like what you provided...
For the real mtcars, you could try this which I think does something like what you want. with(mtcars, plot(cyl, mpg, pch = carb, col = gear)) with(mtcars, legend("top", legend = unique(carb), pch = unique(carb))) with(mtcars, legend("bottom", legend = unique(gear), pch = 20, col = unique(gear))) Michael On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 6:21 AM, RMSOPS <ricardosousa2...@clix.pt> wrote: > > Good Afternoon, > > > I am inexperienced in data visualization R. so I wonder if someone can help > me. > I am using the generic database mtcars. > I would like to change the chart plot, instead of appearing the name of the > medicine, I wanted a symbol in the chart drugX arise for example in a yellow > circle, and so for the rest of the drugs. > > I am using the following code. > > > > dataset > Age Sex BP Cholesterol Na K Drug > 1 23 F HIGH HIGH 0.792535 0.031258 drugY > 2 47 M LOW HIGH 0.739309 0.056468 drugC > 3 47 M LOW HIGH 0.697269 0.068944 drugC > 4 28 F NORMAL HIGH 0.563682 0.072289 drugX > 5 61 F LOW HIGH 0.559294 0.030998 drugY > 6 22 F NORMAL HIGH 0.676901 0.078647 drugX > 7 49 F NORMAL HIGH 0.789637 0.048518 drugY > 8 41 M LOW HIGH 0.766635 0.069461 drugC > 9 60 M NORMAL HIGH 0.777205 0.051230 drugY > 10 43 M LOW NORMAL 0.526102 0.027164 drugY > 11 47 F LOW HIGH 0.896056 0.076147 drugC > > plot(dataset$Na, dataset$K, main="Na vs K", > xlab="Na", ylab="K", pch=20, col="blue") > text(dataset$Na,dataset$K,dataset$Drug, cex=0.6, pos=4, col="red") > > > The idea is that instead of writing the name had to be a legend and symbol > was designed in a different color for each drug > > Thanks > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Plot-Legend-tp3932687p3932687.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
