Hmmm....

This worked this time. And I didn't use the transform t.

Yeah. There is something pathological that happens when you do this:

tblA <- table(BagA)
tblA[8] <- 0


> tmp <-c(tmp,0)
> is.vector(tmp)
[1] TRUE

But if you instead use tmp[8] <- 0 then
> is.vector(tmp)
[1] FALSE

I haven't quite figured out exactly what it is, but when it fails the is.vector test inside barplot you get an error.



BagA <- c(-1000,10,10,10,10,10,10,
         10,20,20,20,20,20,20,30,
         30,40,40,50,60)

BagB <- c(10,20,30,30,40,40,50,50,
         50,50,50,50,60,60,60,60,
         60,60,60,1000)

tblA <- table(BagA)
tblA <- c(tblA,0)
names(tblA) <- c(names(table(BagA)),"1000")

tblB <- table(BagB)
tblB <- c(0,tblB)
names(tblB) <- c("-1000",names(table(BagB)))

layout(c(2,1))

barplot(tblB, main="Bag B")
barplot(tblA, main="Bag A")

D.

All, Consider:

BagA <- c(-1000,10,10,10,10,10,10,
         10,20,20,20,20,20,20,30,
         30,40,40,50,60)

BagB <- c(10,20,30,30,40,40,50,50,
         50,50,50,50,60,60,60,60,
         60,60,60,1000)

layout(c(2,1))

barplot(table(BagB))
barplot(table(BagA))

At this point, I'd like to arrange the plots so that the 10-bars are
aligned, the 20-bars are aligned, etc. So, I started thinking, how do I
add an entry to a table? I tried:

tmp <- table(BagA)
tmp[8] <- 0
names(tmp)[8] <- "1000"

barplot(tmp)

But I got this error:



Try using t(tmp) when plotting. When you started mucking with that
table-object, it got converted (effectively) to a one row matrix (even though it retained it "table"-class attribute) and you need to make it a
one column matrix to get the desired results with barplot().

tmpB <- table(BagB)
tmpB <- c(0, tmpB)
names(tmpB) <- c(-1000, names(table(BagB)) )

barplot( t(tmpB) )
barplot( t(tmp) )
