the code below works just fine to produce a dotplot. However, I am not successful changing the color of the lines in the legend (auto.key). If I add col=..., it only changes the color of the letters in the legend, but not the color of the lines.
I prefer to set pch and friends outside the panel function to avoid clutter, and to set the parameters globally, thus forcing my plots to be similar. This is a matter of taste, though. On Windows, the key looks a bit ugly now. Group 1 o ---- Group 2 o----- I am not very happy that the lwd is not honored by the key. Lines in lwd 2 (plot) and in lwd 1 (default key) do have a quite different subjective color hue. Any way around this, Deepayan? (Besides using ggplot2, as Hadley would argue ??)
And here is a ggplot2 solution ;)
df <- data.frame(
x = rep(d[[2]], 2),
y = c(d[[1]], d[[3]]),
group = rep(c("Group 1", "Group 2"), each = 3)
)
ggplot(df, aes(x, y, group = group)) +
geom_point(aes(colour = group), size = 3) +
geom_line(aes(colour = group), size = 1.5) +
geom_text(aes(label = y, y = y + 0.02), vjust = 0, size = 4)
The legends are pretty good at figuring out exactly what should be
displayed, based on what you've used in the graphic.
