dotchart | R Documentation |
Draw a Cleveland dot plot.
dotchart(x, labels = NULL, groups = NULL, gdata = NULL, offset = 1/8, ann = par("ann"), xaxt = par("xaxt"), frame.plot = TRUE, log = "", cex = par("cex"), pt.cex = cex, pch = 21, gpch = 21, bg = par("bg"), color = par("fg"), gcolor = par("fg"), lcolor = "gray", xlim = range(x[is.finite(x)]), main = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, ...)
x |
either a vector or matrix of numeric values ( |
labels |
a vector of labels for each point.
For vectors the default is to use |
groups |
an optional factor indicating how the elements of
|
gdata |
data values for the groups. This is typically a summary such as the median or mean of each group. |
offset |
offset in inches of |
ann |
a |
xaxt |
a string indicating the x-axis style; use |
frame.plot |
a logical indicating whether a box should be drawn around the plot. |
log |
a character string indicating if one or the other axis should
be logarithmic, see |
cex |
the character size to be used. Setting |
pt.cex |
the |
pch |
the plotting character or symbol to be used. |
gpch |
the plotting character or symbol to be used for group values. |
bg |
the background color of plotting characters or symbols to be
used; use |
color |
the color(s) to be used for points and labels. |
gcolor |
the single color to be used for group labels and values. |
lcolor |
the color(s) to be used for the horizontal lines. |
xlim |
horizontal range for the plot, see
|
main |
overall title for the plot, see |
xlab, ylab |
axis annotations as in |
... |
graphical parameters can also be specified as arguments. |
This function is invoked for its side effect, which is to produce two variants of dotplots as described in Cleveland (1985).
Dot plots are a reasonable substitute for bar plots.
