[R] matlab style plotting in R
Hello I was wondering how I can achieve matlab style plotting in R, in the sense that matlab allows you to plot multiple sets of variables within the same x-y axes. plot in R does not seem to cater for this. I tried 'overplot' from the gplots package but this assumes different y axes for the variables. any suggestions would be very appreciated Maria [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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] matlab style plotting in R
Hi Maria, I'm interested in the responses you get. The way I do this is to use par(new=TRUE), which tells R not to clean the frame before plotting the next plot. So, eg ###Overlaid plot op - par(mar = c(5, 4, 4, 5) + 0.1, las = 2) plot(x=1:5,y=rnorm(5)+1:5,type='b',xlab=xlab,ylab=ylab,main=Title) par(new=TRUE) plot(x=1:5,y=rnorm(5),axes=FALSE,ylab=,xlab=,type='b',col=red) axis(4,at=c(-2,-1,0,1,2),labels=c(6,7,8,9,10)) par(las=0) mtext(Other Y,side=4,line=3) The trick is this: if your 2nd set of Y variables are on a different scale than your 1st set of Y-variables, you'll need to transform the second set so that they'll be on the same scale - otherwise they won't show up on the old plot. You'll also, of course, need to back-transform your labels for the 2nd set of Y variables so that they read appropriately. A terrific site for R graphics, with lots of worked examples (including ones similar to the one I just did), is here: http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/all.html On 2/13/07, Maria Vatapitakapha [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello I was wondering how I can achieve matlab style plotting in R, in the sense that matlab allows you to plot multiple sets of variables within the same x-y axes. plot in R does not seem to cater for this.

In traditional R graphics, you can take a look at matplot.
You might also want to look at the lattice package.
Hope this helps,

Hello
I was wondering how I can achieve matlab style plotting in R,
in the sense that matlab allows you to plot multiple sets of variables
within the same
x-y axes. plot in R does not seem to cater for this. I tried 'overplot'
from
the gplots package but this assumes different y axes for the variables.
any suggestions would be very appreciated

Re: [R] matlab style plotting in R
There are many ways if I understood what you indend to do: example data: toplot-data.frame(x=c(1:5,1:5),y=rnorm(10),sbs=c(rep(a,5),rep(b,5))) 1st with plot itself: plot(y~x,data=toplot,type=n) lines(y~x,data=subset(toplot,sbs==a),type=b,pch=4,col=blue) lines(y~x,data=subset(toplot,sbs==b),type=b,pch=2,col=red) 2nd with xyplot out of the lattice package: library(lattice) xyplot(y~x,groups=sbs,data=toplot,pch=c(2,4),main=Title) to see some variants. My advice is to look at a good documentation at the homepage (contributed documentation) or book ...
