Hi,
I want to customize x axis to scientific data. I do experiments with
different triggers. As others publications, I want that there is one
line for each trigger with the sign "-" or "+" to show if the trigger is
used or no. You will find attached an exemple.
Please find below a data.frame you could use to explain me.
Thank you for your response,
Olivier
set.seed(3)
sampleData <- data.frame(id = 1:100,gender = sample(c("0", "1"), 100,
replace = TRUE), smoke = sample (c("0","1"), 100, replace=TRUE), age =
rnorm(100, 40, 10))
summary(sampleData)
-> I want to give results with histograms or box.plot (age according to
sex and smoking status)
-> x axis may be like something like this :
Gender - - + +
Smoke - + - +

Help for x axis
2 messages · Olivier, David L Carlson
This should get you started:
aggData <- aggregate(age~smoke+gender, sampleData, mean) aggData
smoke gender age 1 0 0 39.47231 2 1 0 40.09020 3 0 1 39.59814 4 1 1 42.04092
plotInfo <- barplot(aggData$age)
axis(1, c(0, plotInfo), c("Gender", "-", "-", "+", "+"), line=.75,
+ lwd=0, cex.axis=1.25, xpd=TRUE)
axis(1, c(0, plotInfo), c("Smoke", "-", "+", "-", "+"), line=2,
+ lwd=0, cex.axis=1.25, xpd=TRUE)
To adapt it you will need to read the manual pages for barplot() and axis() and the page on graphical parameters par(). In particular, you will have to allocate more space at the bottom of the plot if you want to add more lines.
