Hello C.H. I've also been curious about this plot a while ago. Your question today inspired me to collect all that I've came by in one post, and I published it here: http://www.r-statistics.com/2011/03/scatter-dot-beeswarm-box-violin-plot-and-plotting-it-with-r/ I hope it might help you or other

Hi CH, Its sounds like what you are trying to do is plot continuous Y values at categorical X values and rather than simply overplotting, spread out points that would overlap on the X axis. I have been working on implementing something like this in R based on an algorithm from Leland Wilkinson.

Sorry for being ambiguous. The data are some continuous variable (Y-axis) categorized into 3 groups (Controls, Depressed EF and Preserved EF, X-asis). The band of dots on the plot is the data point. The density of dots and the "fatness" of the band present the frequency of a particular value in Y

Hi, I don't understand what is being plotted here. Can you describe what you want in more detail? Best, Ista On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 7:27 AM, C.H. wrote: > Dear R Users, > > I would like to know is there any package to create a plot like this? > > http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5409929/cs1160521f01.gif

Dear R Users, I would like to know is there any package to create a plot like this? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5409929/cs1160521f01.gif X axis is categorical. And the positions of the points are corresponding to the frequency. (similar to violinplot) Thank you. Regards, CH -- CH Chan
