Re: [R] scatter plot of numerical variables against different sample ids

2016-12-05 Thread Shawn Way
You can also try using ggplot2 to generate the plot:

> library(tidyr)
> library(ggplot2)
> data <- gather(mldf,Element,Value,2:4)
> p <- ggplot(data,aes(x=factor(Element),y=Value,group=Sample,color=Sample))
> p+geom_line()

Hi Maria,
Perhaps something like this:

 mldf<-read.table(text="Sample  Cu  Zn Mn
 M1 1  5  10
 M2  2.5  11   8
 M3 1.15  11  12
 M4  2  4  30
 M5  8  15 35",
 header=TRUE)
 matplot(mldf,type="b",pch=c("C","Z","M"))

Re: [R] scatter plot of numerical variables against different sample ids

2016-12-05 Thread Ivan Calandra

Hi Maria,

What happens is that R plots with boxplots (explaining the horizontal 
lines, i.e. boxes with n=1) when the x-variable is a factor.
What you can do is transform your Sample column into numeric and then 
plot it, with some adjustment of axis labels.


For example:
datf <- data.frame(Sample=c("M1","M2","M3","M4","M5"), 
Cu=c(1,2.5,1.15,2,8), Zn=c(5,11,11,4,15), Mn=c(10,8,12,30,35))

datf$Sample2 <- as.numeric(datf$Sample)
with(datf, plot(Sample2, Cu, type="l", lty=1, col="red", xaxt="n"))
axis(1, at=datf$Sample2, labels=datf$Sample)

It might not be the easiest/best approach though... Someone here might 
have a better idea.


HTH,
Ivan

Dear all
I know that my question is very simple but although I tried to find an answer 
online, I couldn't and I am stuck.
I have a dataset of three numerical variables measured in different samples ID. 
Something like this:
SampleCuZnMnM1   1  5  10M2 
  2.5   11  8M3  1.15  11 12  
M42 4  30M5815 
35
I would like to plot these variables (Cu, Zn, Mn) (in y-axis) against the 
Sample ID (in x-axis) in a scatter plot with lines as I want to see how they 
change in the samples.
I tried using the command>plot(Sample, Cu, type="l", lty=1, col="red")
but I wouldn't get a line. Actually, I would get some small horizontal lines in each 
point. I tried to use type="p" but I would get the same thing.
I would very much appreciate if you could help me on that. Apparently, I am 
missing something.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,Maria

[R] scatter plot of numerical variables against different sample ids

2016-12-05 Thread Maria Lathouri via R-help
Dear all
I know that my question is very simple but although I tried to find an answer 
online, I couldn't and I am stuck. 
I have a dataset of three numerical variables measured in different samples ID. 
Something like this:
Sample        Cu        Zn        MnM1               1          5          10M2 
              2.5       11          8M3              1.15      11         12  
M4                2         4          30M5                8        15         
35
I would like to plot these variables (Cu, Zn, Mn) (in y-axis) against the 
Sample ID (in x-axis) in a scatter plot with lines as I want to see how they 
change in the samples.
I tried using the command>plot(Sample, Cu, type="l", lty=1, col="red")
but I wouldn't get a line. Actually, I would get some small horizontal lines in 
each point. I tried to use type="p" but I would get the same thing. 
I would very much appreciate if you could help me on that. Apparently, I am 
missing something. 
Thank you in advance.
