[R] graphs, need urgent help (deadline :( )

Wed Jun 10 12:51:52 CEST 2015

Hi Rosa,
Like Don, I can't work out what you want and I don't even have the
picture. For example, your specification of color and line type leaves
only one point for each color and line type, and the line from one
point to the same point is not going to show up. Here is a possibility
that may lead (eventually) to a solution.

library(plotrix)
par(tcl=-0.1)
gap.plot(x=rep(seq(10,45,by=5),3),
 y=unlist(my.data[,c("factora","factorb","factorc")]),
 main="A plot of factorial mystery",
 gap=c(1.1,174),ylim=c(0,175),ylab="factor score",xlab="Group",
 xticlab=c(" \n0.1\n10"," \n0.2\n10"," \n0.1\n20"," \n0.2\n20",
  " \n0.1\n30"," \n0.2\n30"," \n0.1\n40"," \n0.2\n40"),
 ytics=c(0,0.5,1,174.59),pch=rep(1:3,each=8),col=rep(c(4,2,3),each=8))
mtext(c("Region","Sample"),side=1,at=6,line=c(0,1))
lines(seq(10,45,by=5),my.data$factora,col=4)
lines(seq(10,45,by=5),my.data$factorb[c(1:5,NA,7,8)],col=2)
lines(seq(10,45,by=5),my.data$factorc,col=3)
