Re: [R] Hunting a histogram variant
Hmmno... The labels on a stem-and-leaf plots are the values. This is just the
measurement number: Observations #2,5,6,9 from level 1 had a temperature
between 89 and 90, making up the penultimate column of that histogram.
I would conjecture that, like stem-and-leaf, this has fallen out of favour
because it doesn't scale well to larger samples. It is fine with 64
observations like this, but with (say) four times as many boxes, you'd lose all
legibility.

Re: [R] Hunting a histogram variant
Hi,
This looks very much like a waffle plot, which can be performed with
color2D.matplot in the plotrix package. At the moment, the function
fill.corner is used to produce the matrix, but this could be
generalized to produce any shape of "waffle". The value display is
already part of color2D.matplot.

Re: [R] Hunting a histogram variant
Two things to look at are
?monthplot
which shows seasonal subseries plotted on an overall plot.
The parallel to your example is small histograms plotted on an overall plot.
That goes back (through the reference in the Blue Book (Becker,
Chambers, and Wilks)) to
Bill Cleveland and Irma Terpenning in JASA 77, 377, 52-62 (1982).
Starting from scratch I would be inclined to build your design
directly in grid, to place the
subgraphs in the main graph, and then I would use lattice to design
the subgraphs.
See Paul Murrell's book Figure 7.18 (First Edition) showing plots of
temperature for
cities in Australia.

[R] Hunting a histogram variant
I'm looking for a histogram variant in which data points are plotted as
labelled rectangles 'piled up' to form a histogram. I've posted an example at
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ozi8bhdn5kqaufm/labelled_histogram.png?dl=0
It seems to have a long pedigree, as I see it (as in this example) in documents
going back beyond the '80s. But I've not seen it in recent textbooks. So it may
be one of those older graphical displays that's just fallen out of use.
General questions:
i) Does this thing have a name?
ii) Can anyone point me to a literature source for it?
... and the R question:
ii) Is it already hiding somewhere in an R package?*
