Hi all, I've been messing with this for a while now.. myStudy is a matrix of word frequency to date of document/document.
As you can see I'm trying to plot the series in the matrix. I'd like three things -- 1- In the plot that gets created the first series is a solid line, the rest are dashed... how do I make them either one or the other. 2- The legend that comes up has filled boxes with colour as legend keys, I'd like to show coloured lines for legend keys instead. 3- The x axis of the plot come up labelled 0-80 with major intervals of twenty, I'd like to see (@45 degrees) the axis labelled with the rownames of myStudy, and I'd like to be able to control the interval at which these major ticks are displayed. I messed around for an hour or two, and was able to get the rownames on the x axis using the last command. I tried using at w/ seq w/ %% but I can't get the major tick intervals. > myStudy Terms Docs china greec greece greek 20100302 56 91 0 58 20100303 62 94 0 101 20100304 20 125 0 85 20100305 98 77 0 50 20100306 31 12 0 9 20100308 125 50 0 32 . . . . 20100615 75 29 0 13 20100616 84 21 0 8 20100617 36 10 0 10 20100618 60 8 0 7 20100620 113 4 0 3 20100621 741 7 5 1 > matplot(myStudy,type="l", main = "Word Study",xlab="WSJ Print Date",ylab="Word Frequency",col=c("blue","red","green")) > legend(10,600,colnames(myStudy),fill=c("blue","red","green")) >axis(1,at=1:95,labels=rownames(myStudy),las=1) Thanks for your time!!
