Create set plots or an alternative histogram or barplot with R
To create a stem plot, barplot (with filled bars), or a histogram, there is a simple method in R which provides a flexible alternative to the full blown barplot and histogram plots. It’s even easier when it comes to composing multiple graphs in one plot.
Simply use the type h
to create a stem plot:
plot( type='h', ... )
In case you want to have a barplot or histogram it’s wise to use square line endings and change the line width (requires tweaking):
plot( type='h', lend=2, lwd=30 )
That’s it
