Thank you for the example. Here is a simple function in base graphics that does what you ask for.
You can turn off the default borders and ticks and tick labels and xlab and ylab, and add your own x tick labels, and then it will look exactly like the example you sent. Rich expt1 <- data.frame(from=c(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4), to=c("A","B","A","B","C","D","C","D")) expt2 <- data.frame(from=c(1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4), to=c("A","B","B","C","C","D","D","A")) DesignGraph <- function(x, pch.from=19, pch.to=19) { from <- unique(x$from) to <- unique(x$to) n.from <- length(from) n.to <- length(to) Nrows<- max(1:n.from, 1:n.to) plot(1 ~ 1, type="n", xlim=c(1-.5, 2+.5), ylim=c(Nrows, 1)) points(x=rep(1, n.from), y=1:n.from, pch=pch.from) text(x=1-.3, y=1:n.from, labels=from) points(x=rep(2, n.to), y=1:n.to, pch=pch.to) text(x=2+.3, y=1:n.to, labels=to) index.from <- which index.to <- which segments(1, match(x$from, from), 2, match(x$to, to)) } DesignGraph(expt1) DesignGraph(expt2) > On Aug 18, 2021, at 10:29, mad...@gmail.com wrote: > > I have attached a photo from our book > > E.
