Dot plot

Description

Plot observations as dots.

Usage

dotPlot(
  x,
  fact = NULL,
  vertical = FALSE,
  at = 1,
  key = NULL,
  pch = 20,
  col = fadeColor("black", "66"),
  cex = 1.5,
  add = FALSE,
  axes = TRUE,
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	A numerical vector.
fact	A character or factor vector defining the grouping for data in x.
vertical	If TRUE, the plot will be oriented vertically.
at	The vertical coordinate of the points, or the horizontal coordinate if vertical=TRUE. If fact is provided, then locations can be specified for each group.
key	The factor levels corresponding to at, pch, col, and cex.
pch	Plotting character. If fact is given, then different plotting characters can be specified for each factor level. If key is specified, the elements of pch will correspond to the elements of key.
col	Plotting character color. If fact is given, then different colors can be specified for each factor level. If key is specified, the elements of col will correspond to the elements of key.
cex	Plotting character size. If fact is given, then different character sizes can be specified for each factor level. If key is specified, the elements of cex will correspond to the elements of key.
add	If TRUE, then the points are added to the plot.
axes	If FALSE, no axes are plotted.
xlim	Limits for the x axis.
ylim	Limits for the y axis.
...	Additional arguments to be passed to plot if add=FALSE or points if add=TRUE.
