Thanks for the data. It makes things much easier. Do you want a bar chart (i.e. geom = bar in qplot or geom_bar in ggplot)? That sounds like what you mean when you speak of rectangles.
If so try this ggplot) command -- I almost never use qplot() so I am not quite sure how to specify it there. p <- ggplot(mydata , aes(as.factor(start), peak )) + geom_bar(stat= "identity", ) p John Kane Kingston ON Canada > -----Original Message----- > From: hnorp...@googlemail.com > Sent: Sat, 15 Sep 2012 18:39:54 +0200 > To: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: [R] qplot: plotting precipitation data > > Dear list, > > I wish to plot chromatin precipitation data: I would like to have a > rectangles (x:end-start, y:peak) but I do not have an idea how to define > x > (in terms of qplot syntax) and to choose the correct geom. > mydata is a subset of a larger file. > >> mydata > chrom start end peak > 1 chr11 5291000 5291926 8 > 2 chr11 10988025 10988526 7 > 3 chr11 11767950 11768676 8 > 4 chr11 11840900 11841851 8 > 5 chr11 12267450 12268076 12 > 6 chr11 12276675 12277051 7 >> dput(mydata) > structure(list(chrom = structure(c(3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L, 3L), .Label = > c("chr1", > "chr10", "chr11", "chr12", "chr13", "chr14", "chr15", "chr16", > "chr17", "chr18", "chr19", "chr2", "chr3", "chr4", "chr5", "chr6", > "chr7", "chr8", "chr9", "chrX"), class = "factor"), start = c(5291000L, > 10988025L, 11767950L, 11840900L, 12267450L, 12276675L), end = c(5291926L, > 10988526L, 11768676L, 11841851L, 12268076L, 12277051L), peak = c(8L, > 7L, 8L, 8L, 12L, 7L)), .Names = c("chrom", "start", "end", "peak" > ), row.names = c(NA, -6L), class = "data.frame") >> > > Thanks for some instructions. > > Hermann Norpois > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > 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. ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D EARTH SCREENSAVER - Watch the Earth right on your desktop! ______________________________________________ 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.
