You are correct, but I do not know why stripplot works differently from plot. I can give you two ways to get around the problem though. The easiest is to use the plot command to emulate stripchart:
plot(x, rep(1, length(x)), xlim=c(2, -2), yaxt="n", ylab="", pch=0) Or using stripchart: stripchart(-x, xaxt="n", xlim=c(-2, 2)) vals <- seq(2, -2, by= -1) axis(1, -vals, vals) ------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Hermann Schier Sent: Monday, February 10, 2014 7:15 AM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] reversing data axis in stripchart not working? Hi, I tried to reverse the data axis in stripchart which should work according to docu with xlim = c(Hi, Lo) but it did not work. Same effect in DotPlot from lessR. Any there work arounds or hints? Thanks Hermann example: x <- stats::rnorm(50) stripchart(x) # setting limits works stripchart(x, xlim = c(-2, 2)) # reversing data axis does not work stripchart(x, xlim = c(2,-2)) -- -------------------------------------------------- Dr. Hermann Schier Max-Planck-Institut fuer Festkoerperforschung Informationsvermittlung der CPT-Sektion Heisenbergstr. 1, D-70569 Stuttgart Tel. ++-(0)711-689-1284 FAX ++-(0)711-689-1292 e-mail: h.sch...@fkf.mpg.de ______________________________________________ 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.
