You do not need to use ordered factors. newfac <- factor(oldfac, lev= ...) ## will do it. e.g.
> x <- factor(letters[1:3]) ## default ordering is alphabetic (mod locale) > x [1] a b c Levels: a b c > y <- factor(x,lev=letters[3:1]) ## reorder the levels > y [1] a b c Levels: c b a -- Bert On Fri, Feb 22, 2013 at 1:22 PM, Rich Shepard <rshep...@appl-ecosys.com> wrote: > On Fri, 22 Feb 2013, Bert Gunter wrote: > >> Manually change the ordering of the levels in the factor to that which you >> want (see ?factor if necessary) and replot. > > > Bert, > > I'll do this. > > I looked at ?factor and will try is.ordered() to see if that makes a > difference. > > Many thanks, > > Rich > > ______________________________________________ > 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. -- Bert Gunter Genentech Nonclinical Biostatistics Internal Contact Info: Phone: 467-7374 Website: http://pharmadevelopment.roche.com/index/pdb/pdb-functional-groups/pdb-biostatistics/pdb-ncb-home.htm ______________________________________________ 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.
