dots {TeachingDemos} | R Documentation |
Create a quick dotchart (histogram)
Description
Create a quick dotchart of 1 or 2 datasets. These dotcharts are a poor man's histogram, not the trellis dotplot.
Usage
dots(x,...)
dots2(x, y, colx = "green", coly = "blue", lab1 =
deparse(substitute(x)), lab2 = deparse(substitute(y)),...)
Arguments
x |
Vector, data to be plotted (should be rounded). |
y |
Vector, second dataset to be plotted. |
colx |
Color of points for |
coly |
Color of points for |
lab1 |
Label for |
lab2 |
Label for |
... |
Additional arguments passed to plotting functions. |
Details
These functions create basic dotcharts that are quick "back of the envelope" approximations to histograms. Mainly intended for demonstration.
Value
No meaninful value. These functions are run for the side effect of creating a plot.
