Hello, I am having a problem where code that plots lines using a different data frame plots bars with the current data frame (I am intended to plot lines). The code specifies lines (see below), so I can't figure out why the results are bars. I suspect that it may have something to do with the fact that in the data frame where the code worked as intended, the both variables specifying different lines were numeric, whereas in the current data frame one of those variables (challenge) is a factor with 2 levels. Any suggestions for getting this to plot as intended would be much appreciated.
Thank you! ************ This is meant to plot a separate line for each subject for each challenge************* for (subj in unique(lab.samples$subid)) { #par(new=T) plot.new() par(mfrow=c(2,1)) par(mfg=c(1,1)) plot(data=lab.samples, subset=(subid==subj), cortisol ~ Sample, type='n', main=paste('Cortisol and Amylase for subject ', as.character(subj))) for ( t in unique(subset(lab.samples,subid==subj)$challenge) ) { par(mfg=c(1,1)) lines(data=lab.samples, subset=(subid==subj & challenge==t), cortisol ~ Sample, type='b', pch=as.character(t), col=rainbow(2)[t]) } par(mfg=c(2,1)) plot(data=lab.samples, subset=(subid==subj), amylase ~ Sample, type='n') for ( t in unique(subset(lab.samples,subid==subj)$challenge) ) { par(mfg=c(2,1)) lines(data=lab.samples, subset=(subid==subj & challenge==t), amylase ~ Sample, type='b', pch=as.character(t), col=heat.colors(2)[t]) } } -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/plot-function-creating-bars-instead-of-lines-tp4580765p4580765.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.
