twoord.stackplot: Multiple (stack) plot with two ordinates

Description

Two set of data are plotted on two different ordinate scales.

Usage

twoord.stackplot(lx, rx, ldata, rdata, lcol, rcol, ltype, rtype, 
	border, rylab, lylab, xlab, ..., incrylim=NULL,
	halfwidth=0.4, leftfront=FALSE, mar = c(5, 4, 4, 4))

Arguments

lx,rx

x-values for left/right data.

ldata,rdata

data on the left/right y-axes.

lcol, rcol

colors to be used for left/right data.

ltype, rtype

line types to be used for left/right data, see details.

border

color for the border of barplot

rylab,lylab

labels for the left/right y-axes.

xlab

labels for the x-axis.

...

further arguments to be passed to plot.

incrylim

a number to increase the limits of y-axes.

halfwidth

half the width of the bars in user units. The bars are centered on successive integers if no x values are supplied

leftfront

if TRUE, plot the left data on the front layer.

mar

optional margin adjustment, defaults to c(5,4,4,4).

Value

nil

Details

twoord.stackplot works in the same way as twoord.plot on which it is heavily inspired. The functions let the user plot multiple curve/point or bar plots on the same graph with two different axes. The line type can be one of the following "l" for lines, "p" for points, "b" for both points and line, "o" for overplotted, "bar" for barplot.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# plot data

time <- 0:25

A <- 1+1/2*sin(time/2)
B <- A + rnorm(length(A), sd=1/10)
B <- B + rnorm(length(A), sd=1/10)

sizeA <- floor(450*(1 + 1/4*sin(time/2+2))*(1+.1))
sizeB <- 1000-sizeA

C <- (A*sizeA + B*sizeB)/(sizeA+sizeB)


#typical usage 
#

twoord.stackplot(lx=time, rx=time, ldata=cbind(sizeA, sizeB), 
	rdata=cbind(A, B, C),  lcol=c("grey80", "white"), 
	rcol=c("blue", "red","black"), ltype="bar", rtype=c("l","p","o"), 
	border="grey80", lylab="Size", rylab="A,B,C", xlab="Time", 
	main="a plot", incrylim=2/100)

#add a legend
#

par(xpd=TRUE) #extend the area of plotting
par(new=TRUE) #to add new graph "layers"
plot(0:1, 0:1, type="n", xlab="",ylab="", axes=FALSE) #redo the x/y limits

#first legend
legend(-0.18, 1.2, leg=c("Size A", "Size B"), fill=c("grey80", "white")) 
#second legend
legend(.97, -0.08, leg=c("A", "B", "C"), col=c("blue", "red","black"), 
	pch=c(NA, 19, 19), lty=c(1,NA,1)) 

par(xpd=FALSE, new=FALSE) #default setting



#reverse the order of plotting
twoord.stackplot(lx=time, rx=time, ldata=cbind(sizeA, sizeB), 
	rdata=cbind(A, B, C),  lcol=c("grey80", "white"), 
	rcol=c("blue", "red","black"), ltype="bar", rtype=c("l","p","o"), 
	border="grey80", lylab="Size", rylab="A,B,C", xlab="Time", 
	main="a plot", incrylim=2/100, leftfront=TRUE)
