Thank you, that works perfectly and is more elegant - I'm sorry not to
have included complete code/data.
I have another question that I have been having problems with recently,
described by this code:
reads<-as.data.frame(cbind(c(1:25),rnorm(25),rnorm(25),rnorm(25),rnorm(25)))
names(reads)<-c('id','u','a','b','m')
barchart(cbind(as.vector(reads$u),as.vector(reads$m)),horizontal=FALSE,groups=FALSE,layout=c(1,2))
This is undoubtedly the worst way to do this, and doesn't give me
exactly what I want, though is close: what is desired is the categories
being described by reads$id and the strips holding 'u' or 'm'. I know
this is a result of decontextualising the data as I have.
I have tried to make a data frame that matches the example for barchart
in the help for lattice.
Trying to match the barley data frame:
reads<-as.data.frame(rbind(cbind(reads$id,reads$u,'u'),cbind(reads$id,reads$m,'m')))
names(reads)<-c('id','freq','type')
barchart(freq ~ id | type, data =
reads,horizontal=FALSE,groups=FALSE,layout=c(1,2))
Does not give anything that is analogous to the naive chart above. Can
you point to where I am going wrong (I have also tried barchart(freq |
type, data = reads,...), but this gives an error)? It looks like the
previously numeric values are being treated as non-numeric on the basis
of the sorting of the categories, but changing this:
reads$id<-as.numeric(reads$id)
reads$freq<-as.double(reads$freq)
does not fix the problem (except for the categories' order). In fact I'm
not sure how the plot looks the way it does at all from this (the values
of read$freq are completely changed by this cast!).
thanks for your help
