Here is a start: mydat <- list( Morning=c('Billy','Katy','Jonny'), Noon=c('Billy','Patty','Suzie','Tom','Vicky'), Evening=c('Amy','Jonny','Sally') )
sx <- rep( seq_along(mydat), sapply(mydat, length) ) sy <- unlist( lapply( mydat, seq_along ) ) plot(sx, sy, xlab='', ylab='', xaxt='n', yaxt='n', type='n', xlim=c(0, max(sx)+1), ylim=c(0,max(sy)+1)) text(sx, sy, unlist(mydat), adj=0.5) axis(1, at=unique(sx), lab=names(mydat) ) now just adjust the size of the plot (or change xlim and ylim) to get the spacing that you want. -- Gregory (Greg) L.
