| == Loading and plotting data with R ==
| |
| This tutorial demonstrates how to plot data loaded from files in R.
| |
|
| |
| * Given the data file ''data.txt'' located at ''<path>'':
| |
| 1970 45 63
| |
| 1980 52 59
| |
| 1990 59 52
| |
| 2000 63 45
| |
|
| |
| * This data can easily be loaded into R using the following commands:
| |
| setwd("<path>") # change working directory
| |
| data <- read.table("data.txt") # load data
| |
|
| |
| * Plotting can then be performed as follows:
| |
| # Setup empty plot window
| |
| plot(0, type = "n", main = "Plot Title", xlab = "X axis", ylab = "Y axis", xlim = c(1970,2000), ylim = c(0,100))
| |
| grid() # add grid
| |
| lines(data[,1], data[,2], lty = 1) # draw first dataset
| |
| lines(data[,1], data[,3], lty = 2) # draw second dataset
| |
| legend("topright", c("first dataset", "second dataset"), lty = c(1, 2) )
| |
|
| |
| * Export of the plot to ''pdf'' is easilty performed by adding ''pdf("filename.pdf")'' prior to the plotting, and ''dev.off()'' after the plotting.
| |
| * Export to ''png'' can simmilarly be performed by calling ''png("filename.png")'' prior to the plotting, and ''dev.off()'' after the plotting. ''png("r_plot.png", width = 420, height = 340)'' will, for example yield the following figure:
