Hi, I'm a beginner with R, but I'm getting excellent results with it. Well I've got an capscale object (vegan package) and I want to made a biplot with symbols representing six groups of areas. With the plot.cca function and some par attributes (like 'labels') I was able to substitute the samples names for keyboard symbols ('x','o','#',ect), but it's far from the ideal. I've already search about it and find something using 'Hershey' fonts symbols for a scatterplot, but it didn't work for the biplot (capscale object). I would like to use something like squares, triangles and circles (filled and empty). Does anyone have and idea to solve it? Thank you for your attention and patience Sorry if the English is not that good, I'm Brazilian.
Here is the script I'm using! # The analysis library(vegan) library(xlsReadWrite) PotiAbio<-read.xls('PotiAbioCanoco.xls',sheet=1,rowNames=T) PotiBio<-read.xls('FatorialReplica.xls',sheet=8,rowNames=T) attach(PotiAbio) LogPotiBio<-log(PotiBio+1) dbRDA<-capscale(t(LogPotiBio)~"Environmental Variables",dist="bray",add=T) dbRDA #Preparing to generate and save the graphic SymbolsRep<-read.xls('Fatores.xls',sheet=2) tiff('dbRDAPontos.tif',width=1250,height=1250,res=150) plot.cca(dbRDA,type='none',display=c('bp','sites')) text.cca(dbRDA,dis='cn',col=323232,cex=0.7,lwd=2,lty='dotted') text.cca(dbRDA,dis='sites',col='black',cex=0.8,labels=FatoresSymbols$RepSimb) dev.off() ___________________________________ MSc.
