Customizing Plot Symbols with R: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s the corrected code that uses a different symbol for each set of data points: bwtheme <- standard.theme("pdf", color = FALSE) mytheme$superpose.symbol$pch <- c(15,16,17,3) mytheme$superpose.symbol$col <- c("blue","red","green","purple") p4 <- xyplot(Rate~Weight|Rep+Temp, groups=Week, data=rate, as.table = TRUE, xlab="Weight (gr)", ylab="Rate (umol/L*gr)", main="All individuals and Treatments at all times", strip = strip.custom(strip.names = 1), par.settings=mytheme, auto.key=list(title="Week", cex.title=1, space="right")) This code uses the bwtheme and mytheme functions to create a theme that allows for different symbols to be used.
