These are in a dataframe "h2inqerrg02st". I want to use names of cities (stored as rownames of the dataframe---strings) on the y-axis. "stcod1" is a numeric variable with code for the cities. "og" is an ordering index vector. I tried 'scales' , but can't seem to make it work---don't understand it well enough. Dotplot() is different from dotplot(), and is from package:Design. I was able to have city names on y-axis with the regular dotchart(), but not with Dotplot(). I wanted to add confidence intervals, therfore moved to Dotplot(). The following works very well and gives the names on the y-axis. Either adding standard errors in dotchart(), or rownames as lables for y-axis in Dotplot() would be fine for what I am trying to do. Will appreciate help. dotchart(statgh2[order(statgh2)], labels=row.names(h2inqerrg02st), color="red",lcol="blue", bg="green", xlab="", ylab="",main="") [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
