Hi there, I trying to solve this problem for the whole day not going anywhere, so I really hope maybe somebody can help me in this community... I've got an object coefficient2 which I want to plot in differerent ways, with colors and labels added to the points, but somehow there seems to be a problem if a value is NA within the independent variable, resulting in false labels and false colors for the points.
plot(coefficient2$intercept ~ coefficient2$average_height, main="intercepts ::: height", ylab="intercepts", xlab="average height per site [cm]", xlim=c(20,3020), ylim=c(-2,5), col=coefficient2$color) highlight(coefficient2$intercept ~ coefficient2$average_height, lbls=coefficient2$site_no,col="Red", cex = .6) plot(coefficient2$intercept ~ coefficient2$average_dbh, main="intercepts ::: dbh", ylab="intercepts", xlab="average dbh per site [mm]", xlim=c(-10,360), ylim=c(-2,5),col=coefficient2$color ) highlight(coefficient2$intercept ~ coefficient2$average_dbh, lbls=coefficient2$site_no,col="Red", cex = .6 If I create a temporary object for each plot excluding any NA values for the x axis variable, somehow all points are displayed and the labels are correct except for the color (I have e.g. no clue why some points are red which I do not define at all and no ones are yellow which I use several times). #create temp container for all coefficients with average heights for plotting coef_avheight <- coefficient2[which(!is.na(coefficient2$average_height)),] plot(coef_avheight$intercept ~ coef_avheight$average_height, main="intercepts ::: height", ylab="intercepts", xlab="average height per site [cm]", xlim=c(20,3020), ylim=c(-2,5), col=coef_avheight$color) highlight(coef_avheight$intercept ~ coef_avheight$average_height, lbls=coef_avheight$site_no,col="Red", cex = .6) #create temp container for all coefficients with average dbh for plotting coef_avdbh<- coefficient2[which(!is.na(coefficient2$average_dbh)),] plot(coef_avdbh$intercept ~ coef_avdbh$average_dbh, main="intercepts ::: dbh", ylab="intercepts", xlab="average dbh per site [mm]", xlim=c(-10,360), ylim=c(-2,5),col=coef_avdbh$color ) highlight(coef_avdbh$intercept ~ coef_avdbh$average_dbh, lbls=coef_avdbh$site_no,col="Red", cex = .6) Maybe someone can explain me the color issue and the problem with the NA values which results in a wrong labeling and to few points being displayed? I'm new to R as you can guess and my code isn't really elegant but I really cannot get faults within it... Attached you can find the referred R object (coefficient2). highlight requires library(NCStats)... Thank you very, very much, Katharina
