The arguments can be named (e.g., \code{Cbind(pressure=y,ylow,yhigh)}) or a \code{label} attribute may be pre-attached to the first argument. In either case, the name or label of the first argument is stored as an attribute \code{"label"} of the object returned by \code{Cbind}. Storing other vectors as a matrix attribute facilitates plotting error bars, etc., as \code{trellis} really wants the x- and y-variables to be vectors, not matrices. If a single argument is given to \code{Cbind} and that argument is a matrix with column dimnames, the first column is taken as the main vector and remaining columns are taken as \code{"other"}. A subscript method for \code{Cbind} objects subscripts the \code{other} matrix along with the main \code{y} vector. The \code{xYplot} function is a substitute for \code{xyplot} that allows for simulated multi-column \code{y}. It uses by default the \code{panel.xYplot} and \code{prepanel.xYplot} functions to do the actual work. The \code{method} argument passed to \code{panel.xYplot} from \code{xYplot} allows you to make error bars, the upper-only or lower-only portions of error bars, alternating lower-only and upper-only bars, bands, or filled bands. \code{panel.xYplot} decides how to alternate upper and lower bars according to whether the median \code{y} value of the current main data line is above the median \code{y} for all \code{groups} of lines or not. If the median is above the overall median, only the upper bar is drawn. For \code{bands} (but not 'filled bands'), any number of other columns of \code{y} will be drawn as lines having the same thickness, color, and type as the main data line. If plotting bars, bands, or filled bands and only one additional column is specified for the response variable, that column is taken as the half width of a precision interval for \code{y}, and the lower and upper values are computed automatically as \code{y} plus or minus the value of the additional column variable. When a \code{groups} variable is present, \code{panel.xYplot} will create a function in frame 0 (\code{.GlobalEnv} in \R) called \code{Key} that when invoked will draw a key describing the \code{groups} labels, point symbols, and colors. By default, the key is outside the graph. For S-Plus, if \code{Key(locator(1))} is specified, the key will appear so that its upper left corner is at the coordinates of the mouse click. For R/Lattice the first two arguments of \code{Key} (\code{x} and \code{y}) are fractions of the page, measured from the lower left corner, and the default placement is at \code{x=0.05, y=0.95}. For \R, an optional argument to \code{sKey}, \code{other}, may contain a list of arguments to pass to \code{draw.key} (see \code{\link[lattice]{xyplot}} for a list of possible arguments, under the \code{key} option). When \code{method="quantile"} is specified, \code{xYplot} automatically groups the \code{x} variable into intervals containing a target of \code{nx} observations each, and within each \code{x} group computes three quantiles of \code{y} and plots these as three lines. The mean \code{x} within each \code{x} group is taken as the \code{x}-coordinate. This will make a useful empirical display for large datasets in which scatterdiagrams are too busy to see patterns of central tendency and variability. You can also specify a general function of a data vector that returns a matrix of statistics for the \code{method} argument. Arguments can be passed to that function via a list \code{methodArgs}. The statistic in the first column should be the measure of central tendency. Examples of useful \code{method} functions are those listed under the help file for \code{summary.formula} such as \code{smean.cl.normal}. \code{xYplot} can also produce bubble plots. This is done when \code{size} is specified to \code{xYplot}. When \code{size} is used, a function \code{sKey} is generated for drawing a key to the character sizes. See the bubble plot example. \code{size} can also specify a vector where the first character of each observation is used as the plotting symbol, if \code{rangeCex} is set to a single \code{cex} value. An optional argument to \code{sKey}, \code{other}, may contain a list of arguments to pass to \code{draw.key} (see \code{\link[lattice]{xyplot}} for a list of possible arguments, under the \code{key} option). See the bubble plot example. \code{Dotplot} is a substitute for \code{dotplot} allowing for a matrix x-variable, automatic superpositioning when \code{groups} is present, and creation of a \code{Key} function. When the x-variable (created by \code{Cbind} to simulate a matrix) contains a total of 3 columns, the first column specifies where the dot is positioned, and the last 2 columns specify starting and ending points for intervals. The intervals are shown using line type, width, and color from the trellis \code{plot.line} list. By default, you will usually see a darker line segment for the low and high values, with the dotted reference line elsewhere. A good choice of the \code{pch} argument for such plots is \code{3} (plus sign) if you want to emphasize the interval more than the point estimate. When the x-variable contains a total of 5 columns, the 2nd and 5th columns are treated as the 2nd and 3rd are treated above, and the 3rd and 4th columns define an inner line segment that will have twice the thickness of the outer segments. In addition, tick marks separate the outer and inner segments. This type of display (an example of which appeared in \emph{The Elements of Graphing Data} by Cleveland) is very suitable for displaying two confidence levels (e.g., 0.9 and 0.99) or the 0.05, 0.25, 0.75, 0.95 sample quantiles, for example. For this display, the central point displays well with a default circle symbol. \code{setTrellis} sets nice defaults for Trellis graphics, assuming that the graphics device has already been opened if using postscript, etc. By default, it sets panel strips to blank and reference dot lines to thickness 1 instead of the Trellis default of 2. \code{numericScale} is a utility function that facilitates using \code{xYplot} to plot variables that are not considered to be numeric but which can readily be converted to numeric using \code{as.numeric()}. \code{numericScale} by default will keep the name of the input variable as a \code{label} attribute for the new numeric variable. } \usage{ Cbind(\dots) xYplot(formula, data = sys.frame(sys.parent()), groups, subset, xlab=NULL, ylab=NULL, ylim=NULL, panel=panel.xYplot, prepanel=prepanel.xYplot, scales=NULL, minor.ticks=NULL, sub=NULL, \dots) panel.xYplot(x, y, subscripts, groups=NULL, type=if(is.function(method) || method=='quantiles') 'b' else 'p', method=c("bars", "bands", "upper bars", "lower bars", "alt bars", "quantiles", "filled bands"), methodArgs=NULL, label.curves=TRUE, abline, probs=c(.5,.25,.75), nx=NULL, cap=0.015, lty.bar=1, lwd=plot.line$lwd, lty=plot.line$lty, pch=plot.symbol$pch, cex=plot.symbol$cex, font=plot.symbol$font, col=NULL, lwd.bands=NULL, lty.bands=NULL, col.bands=NULL, minor.ticks=NULL, col.fill=NULL, size=NULL, rangeCex=c(.5,3), \dots) prepanel.xYplot(x, y, \dots) Dotplot(formula, data = sys.frame(sys.parent()), groups, subset, xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, ylim = NULL, panel=panel.Dotplot, prepanel=prepanel.Dotplot, scales=NULL, xscale=NULL, \dots) prepanel.Dotplot(x, y, \dots) panel.Dotplot(x, y, groups = NULL, pch = dot.symbol$pch, col = dot.symbol$col, cex = dot.symbol$cex, font = dot.symbol$font, abline, \dots) setTrellis(strip.blank=TRUE, lty.dot.line=2, lwd.dot.line=1) numericScale(x, label=NULL, \dots) } \arguments{ \item{\dots}{ for \code{Cbind} \code{\dots} is any number of additional numeric vectors.

If drawing bars and only one extra variable is given in \code{\dots}, upper and lower values are computed as described above.

For \code{numericScale} \code{x} is any vector such as \code{as.numeric(x)} returns a numeric vector suitable for x- or y-coordinates. } \item{y}{ a vector, or an object created by \code{Cbind} for \code{xYplot}. \code{y} represents the main variable to plot, i.e., the variable used to draw the main lines. For \code{Dotplot} the first argument to \code{Cbind} will be the main \code{x}-axis variable. } \item{data,subset,ylim,subscripts,groups,type,scales,panel,prepanel,xlab,ylab}{ see \code{trellis.args}. \code{xlab} and \code{ylab} get default values from \code{"label"} attributes. } \item{xscale}{allows one to use the default \code{scales} but specify only the \code{x} component of it for \code{Dotplot}} \item{method}{ defaults to \code{"bars"} to draw error-bar type plots. See meaning of other values above. \code{method} can be a function. Specifying \code{method=quantile}, \code{methodArgs=list(probs=c(.5,.25,.75))} is the same as specifying \code{method="quantile"} without specifying \code{probs}. } \item{methodArgs}{ a list containing optional arguments to be passed to the function specified in \code{method} } \item{label.curves}{ set to \code{FALSE} to suppress invocation of \code{labcurve} to label primary curves where they are most separated or to draw a legend in an empty spot on the panel. You can also set \code{label.curves} to a list of options to pass to \code{labcurve}. These options can also be passed as \code{\dots} to \code{xYplot}. See the examples below. } \item{abline}{ a list of arguments to pass to \code{panel.abline} for each panel, e.g. \code{list(a=0, b=1, col=3)} to draw the line of identity using color 3. To make multiple calls to \code{panel.abline}, pass a list of unnamed lists as \code{abline}, e.g., \code{abline=list(list(h=0),list(v=1))}. } \item{probs}{ a vector of three quantiles with the quantile corresponding to the central line listed first.

If you don't specify \code{lty.bands}, for example, all band lines within each group will have the same \code{lty}. } \item{lty.bands, lwd.bands, col.bands}{ used to allow \code{lty}, \code{lwd}, \code{col} to vary across the different band lines for different \code{groups}. These parameters are vectors or lists whose elements correspond to the added band lines (i.e., they ignore the central line, whose line characteristics are defined by \code{lty}, \code{lwd}, \code{col}). For example, suppose that 4 lines are drawn in addition to the central line. Specifying \code{lwd.bands=1:4} will cause line widths of 1:4 to be used for every group, regardless of the value of \code{lwd}. To vary characteristics over the \code{groups} use e.g. \code{lwd.bands=list(rep(1,4), rep(2,4))} or \code{list(c(1,2,1,2), c(3,4,3,4))}. } \item{minor.ticks}{ a list with elements \code{at} and \code{labels} specifying positions and labels for minor tick marks to be used on the x-axis of each panel, if any. } \item{sub}{an optional subtitle} \item{col.fill}{ used to override default colors used for the bands in method='filled bands'. This is a vector when \code{groups} is present, and the order of the elements corresponds to the different \code{groups}, regardless of how many bands are drawn. The default colors for 'filled bands' are pastel colors matching the default colors superpose.line$col (plot.line$col) } \item{size}{ a vector the same length as \code{x} giving a variable whose values are a linear function of the size of the symbol drawn. This is used for example for bubble plots. } \item{rangeCex}{ a vector of two values specifying the range in character sizes to use for the \code{size} variable (lowest first, highest second). \code{size} values are linearly translated to this range, based on the observed range of \code{size} when \code{x} and \code{y} coordinates are not missing. Specify a single numeric \code{cex} value for \code{rangeCex} to use the first character of each observations's \code{size} as the plotting symbol. } \item{strip.blank}{ set to \code{FALSE} to not make the panel strip backgrounds blank } \item{lty.dot.line}{ line type for dot plot reference lines (default = 1 for dotted; use 2 for dotted) } \item{lwd.dot.line}{ line thickness for reference lines for dot plots (default = 1) } \item{label}{ a scalar character string to be used as a variable label after \code{numericScale} converts the variable to numeric form } } \value{ \code{Cbind} returns a matrix with attributes.
