plot.factor {graphics} | R Documentation |
This functions implements a “scatterplot” method for
factor
arguments of the generic
plot
function.
Actually, boxplot
is used when y
is numeric
and a spineplot
when y
is a factor. For
a single factor x
(i.e., with y
missing) a simple
barplot
is produced.
## S3 method for class 'factor': plot(x, y, legend.text = NULL, ...)
x, y |
numeric or factor. y may be missing. |
legend.text |
character vector for annotation of y axis,
defaults to levels(y) . Can be used instead of yaxlabels
(for backward compatibility). |

plot(PlantGrowth) # -> plot.data.frame plot(weight ~ group, data = PlantGrowth) # numeric vector ~ factor plot(cut(weight, 2) ~ group, data = PlantGrowth) # factor ~ factor ## passing "..." to spineplot() eventually: plot(cut(weight, 3) ~ group, data = PlantGrowth, col = hcl(c(0, 120, 240), 50, 70)) plot(PlantGrowth$group, axes=FALSE, main="no axes")# extremly silly
