I had a look at this, and hist did some very weird things for me in rpy2, plotted a lot of numbers over the top of the histogram. I had better luck with histogram from the package lattice. I was wondering, do you want a histogram of the values in d that fall between 200 and 2000? If so, you probably should subset the data first. If you do want to just show the part of the histogram within a particular range, I think something like this would work:
from rpy2 import robjects from rpy2.robjects.lib import grid from rpy2.robjects.packages import importr # The R 'print' function rprint = robjects.globalenv.get("print") grdevices = importr('grDevices') base = importr('base') lattice = importr('lattice') r = robjects.r V1 = r.rnorm(1000,3700,2500) # the full histogram p = lattice.histogram(V1,breaks=50) rprint(p) # just the bit you want, ie zoom in on a section p = lattice.histogram(V1,breaks=50,xlim=robjects.IntVector([200,7200])) rprint(p) ________________________________ From: Matthew MacManes [mailto:macma...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, 4 November 2010 2:37 AM To: rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Rpy] specify xlim for hist() Hi All, Can anybody tell me how I can set xlim for a histogram, the catch is that the xlim I want does not cover the entire range of x values... The snippet of R code I am trying to recreate in rpy2: <code>hist(V1,breaks=100, xlim=c(200,7200))</code> With rpy2, I can do something like: <code>graphics.hist(d, r_base.seq(200, 7200, 100), col = "lightblue", main = "contig length", xlab = "length (bp)</code> but I get the error: some 'x' not counted; maybe 'breaks' do not span range of 'x' and the plot is not created. i'm fine with some of my observations not being counted, this is in fact what I am hoping for... Of course, ive tried: <code>graphics.hist(d, breaks = 100, xlim = c(200,2000), col = "lightblue", main = "contig length", xlab = "length (bp)")</code> but this returns the error: TypeError: 'DataFrame' object is not callable This seems like such a simple problem, but I cant seems to figure it out.
