Dear list
members,

I would
like to create two series of plotted mean values and error bars, yet with
different locations along the x-axis.
Plotting of
first series using plotCI with the standard arguments goes without any problem.
However I do not succeed to add the second series in the same plot, which
should be horizontally shifted from the first series along the x-axis. The 
“add=TRUE�
argument works well. Is there any argument defining the series location within
plotCI. For example the tool “boxplot� contains the “at� argument. I 
found
examples of plotCI where a vertical shift is realized (e.g.  
“x=means+1e5�), never a horizontal shift.

Here
you find data information:

##data
value1<-c(1,2,1,2,1,3,4,2,6,1,3,4,2,6)
value2<-c(1,5,1,2,4,4,4,3,3,1,3,4,9,8)
typo<-c("C","C","C","C","A","A","A","A","A","B","B","B","B","B")
tab1<-data.frame(data=cbind(value1,value2,typo))
colnames(tab1)<-c("value1","value2","typo")
Â
tab1$value1<-as.numeric(tab1$value1)
tab1$value2<-as.numeric(tab1$value2)

##mean and error first data series

tmp<-
split(tab1$value1,tab1$typo)
means<-
sapply(tmp, mean)
stdev<-
sapply(tmp, sd)
n<-
sapply(tmp,length)
ciw<-
qt(0.975, n) * stdev / sqrt(n)

##plotting
first data series
plotCI(x=means,uiw=stdev,
col="red", barcol="red", lwd=3, pch=18,
cex=2,
xaxt="n", yaxt="n",  ylab='benefit',xlab='typo', yaxs = 'i',ylim=c(0,8))
axis(side=1,
at=1:3, labels=names(tmp), cex=0.7)
Â

##mean and error second data series

tmp<-
split(tab1$value2,tab1$typo)
means<-
sapply(tmp, mean)
stdev<-
sapply(tmp, sd)
n<-
sapply(tmp,length)
ciw<-
qt(0.975, n) * stdev / sqrt(n)

##the
problem: plotting second dataseries
plotCI(x=means,
uiw=stdev, col="steelblue", barcol="steelblue", lwd=2,
pch=18,
cex=2,
xaxt="n", yaxt="n", ylab='qualite',xlab='type', yaxs =
'i',add=T)Â  ##this series of data is now superposed,
but would like to put them horizontally shifted next to the red values

Hi Rosalinde,
I think you are mixing up the "x" and "y" values. Try this:

library(plotrix)
plotCI(means,uiw=stdev,col="red",lwd=3,pch=18,
 cex=2,xaxt="n",yaxt="n",ylab='benefit',xlab='typo',
 yaxs='i',xlim=c(0.6,3.5),ylim=c(0,8))
axis(side=1,at=1:3,labels=names(tmp),cex=0.7)
plotCI(x=1:3+0.1,y=means,uiw=stdev,col="steelblue",
 lwd=2,pch=18,cex=2,xaxt="n",yaxt="n",ylab='qualite',
 xlab='type',yaxs='i',add=T)

Jim
