I was probably too vague. I meant that the group variable descirbes the group (eg. different individuals) and val1 and val2 are just two variables measured from eg. individual.
> mydata val1 val2 group 1 1.1 4.2 0 2 3.2 5.3 1 3 4.1 3.4 0 4 2.5 2.6 1 5 6.2 5.3 0 6 5.3 6.2 1 7 4.5 7.7 0 8 2.2 4.8 1 9 4.7 3.4 0 10 2.7 2.1 1 So, I want to color the points of those groups using different colour. - J 2009/12/1 David Winsemius <dwinsem...@comcast.net>: > > On Dec 1, 2009, at 12:42 AM, johannes rara wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> Is there a way to get different colour based on group when plotting >> stripchart? >> >> mydata <- data.frame(val1 = c(1.1, 3.2, 4.1, 2.5, 6.2, 5.3, 4.5, 2.2, >> 4.7, 2.7), val2 = c(4.2, 5.3, 3.4, 2.6, 5.3, 6.2, 7.7, 4.8, 3.4, 2.1), >> group = rep(0:1, 5)) >> mydata.stack <- stack(mydata, select=-group) >> >> stripchart(values ~ ind, >> data=mydata.stack, >> vertical=T, >> at=c(1.25, 1.75), >> pch=15, >> col="red") >> >> I would like to get different colour for the two groups (based on >> group variable).
