Details

This package implements eigth types of symbol plots. Symbols can be colored with continuos or categorical variable (colin and colout) or with defined color (colin2 and colout2). Symbols can be placed in plot depending on order (with three different schemes - sortby and scheme), depending on some variables or some derived coordinates (coorx and coory). Chernoff faces can be defined by 12 variables, stick figures by 5 and color icons by 8.

Examples

   data(iris)
   symbol(iris)
   symbol(iris,coorx=iris[,2],coory=iris[,3],colout=5)
   symbol(iris,type="face",scheme=3,sortby=2,colin=5)
   symbol(iris,type="stick",coorx=iris[,4],coory=iris[,3],colout=2)
