Use gray levels or labels.  If many is bigger than 5, it's not going
to be easy, whatever method you are using.

There are several BW examples in example(barplot), and the gray ones

a very good choice of cross-hatching, but I suspect the gray examples 
will look better than any 5 cross-hatch patterns.)  I haven't tried 
printing the examples, so I'm not sure the gray would reproduce well on 
paper; I wouldn't try to print those 5 gray levels on a typical printer.

My feeling is that the best cross-hatching is probably going to be
more aesthetically pleasing than the best solid greys (see e.g.
http://www.dannygregory.com/2005/09/cross_hatching.php).  However,
doing cross hatching well is far more difficult than doing grey well,
and for really nice cross-hatching I suspect you also need a high
quality printer.   It is also a challenging problem to come up with an
algorithm for generating perceptually uniform sets of cross-hatchings.
 I suspect there is some work on this area in vis/infovis, but I
haven't find it in a few minutes of casual searching.

Re: [R] Bar Plot ggplot2 Filling bars with cross hatching

2009-01-20 Thread Greg Snow
The best thing to do really depends on your situation and what question you are 
trying to answer with your plot.  

Shades of grey has been mentioned, and in some cases that works, but you then 
run into the problem (same problem with colors and hatching density) of 
figuring out which bars to make light and which dark since a plot can have a 
very different visual impact depending on that choice.

Sometimes reordering and/or grouping/regrouping bars in a barplot can convey 
the information with the need for fewer visual distinguishers.  Dotplots have 
also been mentioned already, they are often an improvement on a barplot.  You 
can use different symbols for the dots (or even letters if overlap is small 
enough and the letters give more information) and labeling and grouping are 
more natural.  Sometimes a line plot is an appropriate alternative to a barplot.

Also take into account how the plot will be used/displayed, others have 
mentioned that what looks good on screen may not print out well (also true of 
cross-hatching).  I have seen some overhead projectors where the slide clearly 
had black and grey sections, but when projected, all the grey was black as 
well.  If this is something that will be photocopied, then 
colors/shades/hatches can change in that process and not be distinguishable.

Often the best strategy is to make multiple variations of a graph, then show 
them to someone else for an outside opinion of which best convey the 
information.

If you tell us a bit more about the specifics of the project, we may have more 
or better suggestions.

I believe Tufte had negative things to say about barplots, hatched or  
not.  He said something to the effect
of Why use a two-dimensional rectangle to represent a one- 
dimensional data point?


What about a dotplot with a different symbol for each of what would  
have been hatched rectangles?
That reduces the ink/information ratio (which I believe was also a  
concern of Tufte's).

Re: [R] Bar Plot ggplot2 Filling bars with cross hatching

2009-01-15 Thread hadley wickham
Hi Stephen,

 #I am putting a test together for an introductory biology class and I
 would like to put different cross hatching inside of each bar for the
 bar plot below

ggplot2 uses the grid package to do all the drawing, and currently
grid doesn't support cross-hatching, so unfortunately there's no way
to do this in ggplot2.

Regards,

Hadley

 Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
 so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
 make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
 annoying little problems of being mammals.
