I'm new to this and struggling away with ggplot. I need to plot some line graphs for about 4 series. I have the values to plot and also the value of the standard error of the value. Is it possible to plot the standard error bars when the value are already calculated as opposed to letting R do the analysis to calculate the SE bars?
The usual way to do that in base graphics is with the arrows function using an angle of 90.
Any simple example would be most appreciated.
Hey, that's _our_ line. Solutions extended when reproducible example provided. See the standard footer.

Try googling 'error bars in ggplot' I found a useful description at http://wiki.stdout.org/rcookbook/Graphs/Plotting%20means%20and%20error%20bars%20%28ggplot2%29/ ******************************************************************* This email and any attachments are confidential.

Hi, It sounds to me like you want to change the location of the tick marks rather than the axis range (which you've already done). For that see ?axis and its various options for placement and labeling and the yaxt option under ?par to suppress the default axis labels. Sarah

Hi all,
I am making 2 barplots with 3 different bars inside with command :
bar.wdHo<-barplot(wdHo.mean, names=c(""), cex.lab=1.0, cex.axis=1, cex.names=1, ylim=c(0,15), xlab="", ylab=expression(paste("Thickness (mm"^{2},")")), density=c(0,27,200), col=c("grey90","black","grey"), beside=TRUE, axis.lty=1)
and the other one :
bar.wdHo<-barplot(wdHo.mean, names=c(""), cex.lab=1.0, cex.axis=1, cex.names=1, ylim=c(0,5), xlab="", ylab=expression(paste("Thickness (mm"^{2},")")), density=c(0,27,200), col=c("grey90","black","grey"), beside=TRUE, axis.lty=1)
My question is :
how can i adjust the y range from 0,5,10 and 15? for the first barplot and the second to be 0, 2.5 and 5 ?
because, even though i put the lim=c(0,15) for the first one, but then it came out as 0,2,4,and so on (with even numbers) and the max is only 14.
because also I would like to show "comparisons" of magnitudes with the other baplots /data that I have, one with max 15 and the other with maximum 5)
Any help/comments/suggestions are highly appreciated,
THanks in advance,
cheers,
Yakamu

Not reproducible for us ...

You set the range of the whole axis by ylim, if you want to control the tick marks, use: ylim=c(0,15), yaxp=c(0, 15, 3) and ylim=c(0,5), yaxp=c(0, 5, 2) respectively. See ?par for details. Otherwise, omit the y axis via yaxt="n" and add it separately by a call to axis(). Uwe Ligges
