Dear ExpeRts,
I am trying to plot a bunch of growth curves and would like to get
some more control over groups and line colors than I seem to have.
Example:
# make some data
dat <- Orange
dat$group <- ifelse(dat$Tree%in%c('1','4','5'), 'A', 'B')
# plot
xyplot(circumference~age, dat, groups=group)
# now use lines to make the growth curve more visible
xyplot(circumference~age, dat, groups=group, type='l')
# ugly, because of the 'return' lines
# to fix this set groups to Tree
xyplot(circumference~age, dat, groups=Tree, type='l')
# better, but now each Tree has its own color
Of course I can now use the col argument to manually assign the colors
by group but is there a more elegant way that I missed?
You aren't saying what you want but I am guessing it is a color-less
plot:
xyplot(circumference~age, dat, groups=Tree, type='l',
par.settings=simpleTheme(col="grey"))
trellis.par.set can also be used to specify this globally.
