[R] change confidence interval line length in barplot2 (plotrix package)
Hi, is there any way to change the width of the horizontal line of confidence intervals in the barplot2 function in the plotrix package (independent of the width of the bars)? example code: library(plotrix) # Example with confidence intervals and grid hh - t(VADeaths)[, 1] mybarcol - gray20 ci.l - hh * 0.85 ci.u - hh * 1.15 mp - barplot2(hh, beside = TRUE, col = c(lightblue, mistyrose, lightcyan, lavender), legend = colnames(VADeaths), ylim = c(0, 20), main = Death Rates in Virginia, font.main = 4, sub = Faked 95 percent error bars, col.sub = mybarcol, cex.names = 1.5, plot.ci = TRUE, ci.l = ci.l, ci.u = ci.u) thanks! __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
Re: [R] change confidence interval line length in barplot2 (plotrix package)
There does not appear to be any such function as barplot2 in the current version (3.4-5) of the plotrix package. Moreover I can find no reference to such a function in the NEWS for plotrix. cheers, Rolf Turner On 01/23/2013 07:28 AM, Martin Batholdy wrote: Hi, is there any way to change the width of the horizontal line of confidence intervals in the barplot2 function in the plotrix package (independent of the width of the bars)? example code: library(plotrix) # Example with confidence intervals and grid hh - t(VADeaths)[, 1] mybarcol - gray20 ci.l - hh * 0.85 ci.u - hh * 1.15 mp - barplot2(hh, beside = TRUE, col = c(lightblue, mistyrose, lightcyan, lavender), legend = colnames(VADeaths), ylim = c(0, 20), main = Death Rates in Virginia, font.main = 4, sub = Faked 95 percent error bars, col.sub = mybarcol, cex.names = 1.5, plot.ci = TRUE, ci.l = ci.l, ci.u = ci.u) __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Re: [R] change confidence interval line length in barplot2 (plotrix package)
Ok, I have to apologize, I confused the packages. It's the function barplot2 from the gplots package! It calls itself an extenstion of barplot2 and has a ci.lwd argument. Might save you the time of doing what I thought might be needed, hacking te code. Unfortunately ci.lwd controls the thickness of the line but not the horizontal width.

Re: [R] change confidence interval line length in barplot2 (plotrix package)
Maybe a fortunate mistake. If you use the base graphics barplot(), you can use plotCI() in plotrix to add the confidence intervals with control over the width of the horizontal ends of the bars (if needed, the defaults are much narrower): out - barplot(hh, beside = TRUE, col = c(lightblue, mistyrose, lightcyan, lavender), legend = colnames(VADeaths), ylim = c(0, 20), main = Death Rates in Virginia, font.main = 4, sub = Faked 95 percent error bars, col.sub = mybarcol, cex.names = 1.5) plotCI(out, hh, pch=, gap=0, ui=ci.u, li=ci.l, add=TRUE) -- David L Carlson Associate Professor of Anthropology Texas AM University College Station, TX 77843-4352 -Original Message- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces@r- project.org] On Behalf Of Martin Batholdy Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 2:42 PM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] change confidence interval line length in barplot2 (plotrix package) Ok, I have to apologize, I confused the packages.

Unfortunately ci.lwd controls the thickness of the line but not the horizontal width. barplot2() in gplots uses a hard coded width for the CI's, which is 50% of the bar width, so it is a consistent proportion. You could hack the code or simply use base graphics barplot() along with either ?segments or perhaps more easily, ?arrows, which would give you more flexibility. Compare: mp - barplot(1:5) arrows(mp, 1:5 + 0.5, mp, 1:5 - 0.5, code = 3, angle = 90, length = 0.1) with: mp - barplot(1:5) arrows(mp, 1:5 + 0.5, mp, 1:5 - 0.5, code = 3, angle = 90, length = 0.25) where the 'length' argument to arrows() defines the width of the upper and lower boundary lines. There are a fair number of other functions around that can add CI's to plots as well and a search of the archives should bear fruit.
