Hi all,
   I wrote the following code and have two questions:
   (1) As you can see, I would like different colors for different
types. It does not come out that way in the graph from this code.
Anyone know how to fix this?
    (2) How do I made the lots number on x axis eligible to read?
    (3) How do I remove the verticle line in the graph.
     Thanks for your help.

Li Li,

1. if the dotplot function you are referring to is from the lattice package, then the correct name for the "color" parameter is col. You could just use col=type to get different colors but you won't have control over the colors chosen. I created a vector, color, specifying the colors and the order they will be applied.

2. the scales parameter is what you are looking for. The parameter is looking for a list which consists of name=value pairs. You can rotate the labels by a specified number of degrees. In my example, I chose 30 degrees, rot=30.

3. I don't know how to eliminate the vertical lines, but if you read the lattice documentation, you will find it (if it is possible).

color=c("blue", "red", "green")
dotplot(val ~ lot, tmp,
        ylab = "values", xlab="lot", scales=list(rot=30), aspect=1,
        pch=tmp$sybm, col=color)


Hope this is helpful,

Dan
