plot.factor {graphics} | R Documentation |
This functions implements a scatterplot method for
factor
arguments of the generic
plot
function.
Actually, boxplot
is used when y
is numeric
and a spineplot
when y
is a factor. For
a single factor x
(i.e., with y
missing) a simple
barplot
is produced.
## S3 method for class 'factor'
plot(x, y, legend.text = NULL, ...)
x , y |
numeric or factor. |
legend.text |
character vector for annotation of y axis,
defaults to |
... |
Further arguments to |
plot.default
, plot.formula
,
barplot
, boxplot
, spineplot
.
require(grDevices)
plot(PlantGrowth) # -> plot.data.frame
plot(weight ~ group, data = PlantGrowth) # numeric vector ~ factor
plot(cut(weight, 2) ~ group, data = PlantGrowth) # factor ~ factor
## passing "..." to spineplot() eventually:
plot(cut(weight, 3) ~ group, data = PlantGrowth,
col = hcl(c(0, 120, 240), 50, 70))
plot(PlantGrowth$group, axes=FALSE, main="no axes")# extremely silly
