Hi R-users,
I'm new to R and I'm trying to make a barplot combined with two lines
(refering to secondary y-axis). Bars should represent the number of
transfused patients by age class and sex and lines should represent
the amount of blood units given in age classes. I have now successfully made
a barplot and used par(new=TRUE) to plot another empty graph at the top of
the barplot.
#tab-table:
# ikar_new
#sp 0-9 10-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 >80
# mies 227 93 79 92 195 451 560 577 132
# nainen 183 80 102 175 99 161 230 357 164
barplot(tab,
beside=TRUE,
col = c("black", "lightgrey"),
legend = rownames(tab),
ylim= c(0,800),
font.main = 4,
cex.names = 1.1,
main = "Transfused patients and trombocytes given by age and sex",
ylab="Number of transfused patients",
xlab="Age groups (years)")
axis(1, c(0,3.5+3*0:9), labels=FALSE, tick=TRUE)
par(new=TRUE)
#temp-table
# ikar_new mies nainen
#1 0-9 2296 2224
#2 10-19 1648 3508
#3 20-29 2276 1464
#4 30-39 1920 2600
#5 40-49 3912 2020
#6 50-59 6856 2872
#7 60-69 8748 3592
#8 70-79 7052 4916
#9 >80 1436 1780
plot(temp$mies, type="n", yaxt='n', xaxt='n', ann=FALSE)
lines(temp$mies, col="blue", lwd=2)
lines(temp$nainen, col="red", lwd=2)
axis(4, at=NULL)
I have used lines() to draw the lines into the picture. How can I get the
lines into the same x-axis and get the actual data points of the lines to
be exactly in between the two barplot's bars (categories in x-axis)? Now the
points which the lines connect are not in the middle of the groups in x-axis
as I would want them to be. The bars in the barplot are not stacked. I'm
sorry that I'm not able to give you the scripts to make those tables.
Thanks in advance
