Hi all, with PowerPoint and ThinkCell one can draw something they call waterfall chart and it looks like this: http://www.think-cell.com/products/images/waterfall.gif I found discussions on waterfall charts in the archive of this mailinglist, but unfortunately they looked totally different. Other names for this type of plot seem to be bridge chart, cascade chart, stair case chart, etc. but neither of them brought successful results. So I decided to ask you directly on the list. Does anyone have an idea on how I could plot this type of chart in R?
Well Kirsten, it's a real challenge trying to find something that you _can't_ plot in R. Perhaps if you sent some data to the mailing list and a description of how the various counts (?) are related to one another, some R-nut may reply with what you want. Jim
Thanks a lot for your quick reply. In the attached pdf you can see the chart I would like to draw with R. I could of course make my life easier and use the Power Point chart, but importing a ppt chart into Latex would not make me sleep very well, besides the fact that all other plots in my document will come from R and I don't want this one to look totally different...
