I am not entirely sure after reading your email, but I thought you wanted to do something like this:
###Start of example ###create random data for the example x=rnorm(100,100,10) ##create Xs e=rnorm(100,0,5) ##create Errors y=x+e ##create Ys ###plot plot(y~x,pch=NA) ##plot Ys against Xs but suppress all symbols (i.e. plot invisibly) text(y~x,labels=round(x),pch=NULL) ##use values of X (rounded to its integer value) as symbols for the X-Y plot ###End of example So you could just substitute your variable names for x and y in the plot() and text() commands. Let us know whether your problem is solved.

I would like to set different sympols instead of the numbers of my samples or their names, that I get plotted (xlabs). How is this possible? With points, i don4t seem to get the right data plotted onto the PCA plot, as I do not quite understand from where it is taken. I dont know how to plot the correct columns of the prcomp outcome (p). I would really appreciate if someone could help me, I have struggled with this for days now. How can I make a function that gives different symbols for the points, depending on how big the number given to it as xlabs is? Making the plots. read.table(file = "S:\\SEDIM\\TRFLP\\B90-700.txt",sep="\t", header=T)->boutbout <-bout[-1]p <- prcomp(bout) biplot(p, choices = c(2,3), scale = 1, pc.biplot = FALSE, var.axes = F, ylabs = NULL, xlabs=c("119","175","135","330","51","422","67","409","470","70","67","89"," 135","215","330","409","470","51","80","119","175","222","301","422","280"," 171","256","243","404","37","157","28","187","70","42","283","261","85","147 ","204","235","411","514","77","204","87","366","306","351","371","38","534" ,"199","407","42","167","480","195","22","35","80","433","43","109","214","3 63","292","61","115","178","273","521","72","126","253","288","501","83","11 3","250","359","498","19","130","389","324","24","58","124","388","319","164 ","101","153","383","345","219","179","161","375","298","450","555","439","5 4","54","490","465","411","18","85","503","455","394","179","187","416","447 ","219","461","164","366","474","167","236","507","319","509","467","507","4 50","359","507","192","453","101","456","512","517"), cex=0.67, main="90-700bp") _________________________________________________________________ [[elided Hotmail spam]] PLink [[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.
