Re: [R] adding vertical segments to an xyplot in lattice

IMHO both methods (or languages) have advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes I even find basic graphics the most useful, it always depends on a lot of factors. So do not exclude any of them... > Thanks, the ggplot2 strategy looks promising. For making > information-dense graphs, I tend to vacil

Re: [R] adding vertical segments to an xyplot in lattice

Thanks, the ggplot2 strategy looks promising. For making information-dense graphs, I tend to vacillate between lattice and ggplot2. I should probably settle on one or the other and learn it better. I'll admit I like the default look of lattice plots better, but so far custom panel functions sti

Re: [R] adding vertical segments to an xyplot in lattice

You might also consider the Deducer package. You can build up a plot by point and click and then have a look at (and amend) the code and learn the syntax of ggplot2, which is a nice alternative to the lattice package. The website of the Deducer package (www.deducer.org) is a good start. -- An

Re: [R] adding vertical segments to an xyplot in lattice

Well, a custom panel function is what you need (or one that may already exist somewhere: try googling on "high low intervals in R graphs" or some such). So if you haven;t already done so, try Paul Morrell's Chapter on lattice plots from his book for how panel functions work: http://www.stat.auckl
