Dear all,
my data looks the following: df <- data.frame (experiment=c("E1","E2","E3","E4"), mean = c(3,4,5,6), stdev=c(0.1,0.1,0.05,0.2), method = c("STD","STD", "FP", "FP"), enzyme =c ("T","T/L","T","T/L"), denaturation=c("U","U","0.05%RG", "0.1%RG")) I would like to make a bar plot with standard deviation which I solved the following way: x <- df$experiment y <- df$mean sd <- df$stdev df.plot <- qplot(x,y,xlab="", ylab="# peptides identified")+ geom_bar(colour="black", fill="darkgrey")+ geom_errorbar(aes(x=x, ymin=y-sd, ymax=y+sd), width=0.25) df.plot However, as the labels for the x-axis (the bars) I do not want the experiment number, as now, but instead a table containing the other columns of my data.frame (method, enzyme, denaturation) with the description in the front and the certain 'value' below the bars. I am looking forward to your suggestions! With best wishes, Nina ______________________________________________ Dr. Nina C.
