[R] smoothScatter plot

   Hi,
   Do you mean something like this?
   =============================================
       scatter.smooth(x,y)scatter.smooth(x,y)
   =============================================
   It looks like invoking that dcols <- densCols(x,y) is callling in some
   package that is masking the basic::smoothScatter()  and applying some other
   version of smoothScatter, but I am not expert enough to be sure.
   Another way to get the same result as mine with smoothScatter is to use the
   ggplot2 package.  it looks a bit more complicated but it is very good and in
   some ways easier to see exactly what is happening.
   To   try   it   you   would   need  to  install  the  ggplot2  package
   (install.packages("ggplot2")  then with your original x and y data frames
   ===============================================
   library(ggplot2)
   xy  <-  cbind(x, y)
   names(xy)  <-  c("xx", "yy")
   p  <-  ggplot(xy , aes(xx, yy )) + geom_point( ) +
                                geom_smooth( method="loess", se =FALSE)
   p
   ================================================
   Thanks for the data set.  However it really is easier to use dput()
   To use dput() simply issue the command dput(myfile) where myfile is the file
   you are working with.  It will give you something like this:

   =======================================================
   That is your x in dput() form.  You just copy it from the R terminal and
   paste it into your email message.  It is handy if you add the x  <-  and y
   <-  to the output.
   Your method works just fine but it's a bit more cumbersome with a lot of
   data.
   Also, please reply to the R-help list as well.  It is a source of much more
   expertise than me and it also can reply when a single person is unavailable.
   I hope this helps

   Hi John,

   Thanks for your reply. But I cannot figure out how to use dput(). I included
   data and code below. Is that possible to make a plot similar to attached
   smoothing effect.
