Why can't you simply draw a 3 - D plot. The third variable being categorical can expressed as a bar.

Subject: [R] Plotting question

Hi,

I use R to draw my graphs. I have 100 points on a simple xy-plot. The points are 
distinguished by a third variable which is categorical with 10 levels. I have 
been plotting x against y and using gray scales to distinguish the level of the 
categorical variable for each point. It looks ok to me but a journal reviewer 
says this is not any use. I cannot afford to pay for colour prints. Any ideas on 
what is the best way to distinguish 10 groups on an xy scatter plot? 



If all else fails I can just remove the graph and give them a table of 
regression coefficients. 


Thanks.

Yours Sincerely
Andrew McCulloch
