I'm trying to create a dotplot with some grouping. I've been able to create what I want using dotchart (basic graphics), but can't quite get it using dotplot (lattice). I prefer to use lattice (or ggplot2) because I think it's a bit easier to control some other aspects of the plot appearance.
Basically, w/ lattice I've not been able to get the y-axis label to include the group variable. I'd like... A 1 2 B 1 2 3 4 C 1 2 3 I'm getting... 1 2 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 The following example code illustrates.... set.seed(18) dta <- data.frame(var1=factor(c("A", "A", "B", "B", "B", "B", "C", "C", "C")), var2=c(1,2,1,2,3,4,1,2,3), var3=round(runif(9,1,10),1), plotorder=9:1) dta windows(3,3) dotchart(dta$var3[order(dta$var1, -dta$var2)], groups=dta$var1, labels=dta$var2[order(dta$var1, -dta$var2)], cex=.75, gcolor=c("blue", "red", "dark green"), col=c(rep("blue",2), rep("red",4), rep("dark green",3)), axes=NULL) windows(3,3) dotplot(data=dta, plotorder~var3, groups=var1, col=c("blue", "red", "dark green"), scales=list(y=list(labels=dta$var2[order(dta$plotorder)]))) Thanks.
