Hi,
I am not sure whether I completely understood your question. Anyway,
here it's a simple code that, hopefully, overcome your problem.

Data=cbind(c(1, 2, -1, 3,  -2.2), c(1, 3, -1, -1.8, 4))
plot(x=rep(0,nrow(Data)), Data[,1], axes=F, xlim=c(-max(Data[,2]),
max(Data[,2])), xlab="", col=1:nrow(Data), cex=2)
axis(2)
for(i in 1:nrow(Data)){
    segments(x0=0, y0=Data[i,1], x1=Data[i,1] + Data[i,2], y1=Data[i,1],
col=i)
}

Best,
Carlo Giovani Camarda

Hello,

 

I'd like to draw a graphic using different color line segments to
represent microarray data.  It simply likes this:

Data=cbind(c(1, 2, -1, 3,  -2.2), c(1, 3, -1, -1.8, 4))

The first col No represents y'axis position (negative down and positive
up). The second col No represents a length of segment (negative segment
should be on left of y, and positive on right). Also the segment color
on I, II, III, IV should be different.

 

Thank you for your time and help.

 

Xueato
