Re: [R] Frequency plot --- stacked symbols

2011-02-08 Thread David Arnold
Hi, This was a terrific suggestion. I'm no expert in R, but I managed to find and read the axis command to do the following. x=c(rep(2,14),rep(4,13),rep(6,11),rep(8,4),rep(10,3),rep(12,2),14,16,18) stripchart(x,method="stack",pch=21,at=0,bg="lightblue",col="blue",offset=.5,cex=1.5,xlab="Bag B"

Hi, either upscale the circles (increase cex) or narrow your plot, as in x11(3,5) stripchart(x,method="stack",pch=21,at=0,bg="lightblue",col="blue",offset=.5,cex=1.5,xlab="Bag B",frame.plot=FALSE,axes=FALSE) there's a trade off between 'closing the gap' and having all your ticks readable, so just

Hi David, you can use base 'stripchart' stripchart(rbinom(100,size=10,p=.3),method="stack",pch=21,at=0,bg="lightblue",col="blue",offset=.5,cex=1.5,xlim=c(0,10)) and set 'pch' as you wish, e.g. as in example(points) hth. Am 08.02.2011 08:27, schrieb David Arnold: > Hi, > > We were wondering ho

Hi, We were wondering how we could make a stacked frequency diagram such as this one: http://msemac.redwoods.edu/~darnold/math15/liz.pdf We don't necessarily need the shaded "balls", other characters would be fine, such as stacks of x's. David __ R-
