Hi Luigi
not sure of your code and dataset If you have rescaled your data so that they all go from 0-50, I rescaled your original dataset so that max was 50 and this works. All you need is to add a group and col argument stripplot(value~factor(time)|factor(dat$clas, levels = c("low","medium","high")),dat, hor=F, layout = c(3,1) , groups = factor(time), col = c("black","red") ) HTH Duncan From: Luigi Marongiu [mailto:marongiu.lu...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, 21 December 2013 03:32 To: Duncan Mackay Subject: Re: [R] plot different groups as factors Dear Duncan, thank you for your reply. I have applied it and i obtained the figure attached. I changed BWplot with stripplot and it looks OK. Only thing: would it be possible to have different colours for the time plot at 12 and 18?
