Factor variable on x-axis for double y-axis - r

Right now on the x-axis it plots numerical variable "1,2,3,4" etc. when instead I want it to graph the game. As you can see in line 85, axis(1,Champ$game) I want the game name on the x-axis, but instead it just numbers the game rather than putting the game name. How do I fix this?
par(mar=c(5, 4, 4, 6) + 0.1)
plot(Champ$daily_max_vel, pch = 16, axes = FALSE, ylim =
c(3.0,3.9),type = "b", col = "black", ylab = "", xlab = "",
main = "Athlete")
##Creates y-axis for graph 1
axis(2, ylim = c(0,1), col = "black", las = 1)
mtext("Velocity (m/s)", side = 2, line = 2.5)
box()
## Allows for second plot on same graph
par(new = TRUE)
#Plotting second graph
plot(Champ$daily_peak_power, pch = 1, xlab = "", ylab = "",
ylim = c(1000,1600), axes = FALSE, type = "b",
col = "orange")
#Creating Second Axis
mtext("Power (W)", side = 4, col = "orange", line = 4)
axis(4,ylim = c(1200,1600), col = "orange", col.axis =
"orange", las = 1)
axis(1,Champ$game)

Using the labels function should do what you are looking for - here is an example of what I think your issue is. If this doesn't work, edit your post to provide your data structure.
# create sample data
df <- data.frame(game = sample(c(1, 2, 3), 150, replace = TRUE),val = rgamma(150, 50))
plot(df)
# label factors
df$game <- factor(df$game, levels = 1:3, labels = c("Game A", "Game B", "Game C"))
# plot
plot(df, axes = F, type = "b")
axis(1, df$game, labels = df$game) # shows game A, game b, game c instead of 1, 2, 3

How to customise dates (years) on the x-axis in R

I am struggling to customise the jump size on the x-axis in R.
Current code:
par(mfrow = c(2,2))
r.star.ts.sp <- ts(r.star.sp, frequency = 4, start = c(1978,1), end = c(2018, 1))
# Big drop in r* around 123th quarter equivalent to 2008:Q4 / 2009:Q1
trendgrowth.ts.sp <- ts(trendgrowth.sp, frequency = 4, start = c(1978,1), end = c(2018, 1))
plot.ts(r.star.ts.sp,
ylim = c(-3, 4), xlab = " ", ylab = " ", axes = F, col = "blue")
lines(trendgrowth.ts.sp, lty = 2, col = "red")
abline(h = 0, lty = 2)
title(main ="r* and Trend Growth", line = 0.5, font.main = 3)
box()
axis(4)
axis(1)
legend("bottomleft", legend = c("r*", "Trend Growth (g)"),
bty = "n", lty = c(1,2), col = c("blue", "red"), horiz = F, text.col = "black",
cex = 1, pt.cex = .5, inset = c(0.02, 0.02))
# -------------------------------------- #
# Plot output gap and real rate gap
# -------------------------------------- #
outputgap.ts.sp <- ts(outputgap.sp, frequency = 4, start = c(1978,1), end = c(2018, 1))
realrategap.ts.sp <- ts(realrategap.sp, frequency = 4, start = c(1978,1), end = c(2018, 1))
plot.ts(outputgap.ts.sp, ylim = c(-20, 15), xlab=" ", ylab=" ", axes = F, col="blue")
lines(realrategap.ts.sp, lty = 2, col = "red")
abline(h = 0, lty = 2)
legend("topright", legend = c("Output Gap", "Real Rate Gap"),
bty = "n", lty = c(1,2), col = c("blue", "red"), horiz = F, text.col = "black",
cex = 1, pt.cex = .5, inset = c(0.02, 0.02))

How would one specify the years on the x-axis from 1975 to 2020 with jumps of 5 years?
Furthermore, (off-topic) I need two plots next to each other, but I feel that par(mfrow = c(2,2)) is not the correct statement. However, changing it into par(mfrow = c(1,2)) creates abnormal large figures.
Thanks!
The OP has requested to specify the years on the x-axis from 1975 to 2020 with jumps of 5 years.
This can be achieved by
axis(1, at = seq(1975L, 2020L, by = 5L))
However, the result may depend on the mfrow parameter. Here is a a dummy example using par(mfrow = c(2, 2)):
Note that the x-axis of the left graph was created by axis(1) while the x-axis of the right graph was created by axis(1, at = seq(1975L, 2020L, by = 5L)). Also note the large white space below the two graphs.
With par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) the result becomes
Here, the right graph shows unlabeled ("minor") tick marks. This is explained in the mfrow section of ?par: In a layout with exactly two rows and columns the base value of "cex" is reduced by a factor of 0.83. So, font size is reduzed by 17% per cent which allows to label all tick marks without overplotting.

Creating a secondary y-axis in histogram

I have found multiple ways to create a secondary y-axis in plot but I couldn't find a way to create a secondary y-axis in histogram.
Here is a sample code:
a <- sample(90:110, 50, replace=TRUE)
b <- runif(50, min=0, max=1)
hist(a)
lines(b)
b is too small to show in hist(a) so is there any way that I can see both in the histogram?
Technically a solution may be quite an identical to the approach proposed for the plots in this answer. The idea is to use overlapping of two plots as proposed by #r2evans.
It makes sense to use color coding:
# set color rules
col_a <- "red"
col_b <- "darkblue"
col_common <- "black"
Then let's draw the histogram and the plot:
# draw a histogram first
par(mar = c(5, 5, 5, 5) + 0.3)
hist(a, col = col_a, axes = FALSE, xlab = "", ylab = "", main = "")
# add both axes with the labels
axis(side = 1, xlim = seq(along.with = b), col = col_a, col.axis = col_a)
mtext(side = 1, text = "a_value", col = col_a, line = 2.5)
axis(side = 2, col = col_a, col.axis = col_a, ylab = "")
mtext(side = 2, text = "a_Frequency", col = col_a, line = 2.5)
# ... and add an overlaying plot
par(new=TRUE)
plot(b, ylim = c(0, 1), axes = FALSE, col = col_b, type = "l", xlab = "", ylab = "")
points(b, col = col_b, pch = 20, xlab = "", ylab = "")
axis(side = 3, xlim = seq(along.with = b), col = col_b, col.axis = col_b)
mtext(side = 3, text = "b_index", col = col_b, line = 2.5)
axis(side = 4, ylim = c(0, 1), col = col_b, col.axis = col_b)
mtext(side = 4, text = "b_value", col = col_b, line = 2.5)
box(col = col_common)

R Shiny plot won't render

Hi can anyone see what is the problem with the code below?
output$zscore_chart <- renderPlot({
xvals <- 2:186
req(input$countrySelectZScore)
idx_country = which(input$countrySelectZScore == esiCountries)
max_comp_z <- max(esiData_DF[idx_country, 2:186], na.rm = TRUE)
overall_max_z <- max(max_comp_z, na.rm = TRUE)
foo = ts(esiData_DF[idx_country, 2:186], frequency = 12, start = 2001)
dates = seq(as.Date("2001-01-01"), by = "month", along = foo)
plot(x = 2:186, y = esiData_DF[idx_country, 2:186], type = "l",
xlab = "", ylab = "", col = "grey20", ylim = c(-2, overall_max_z),
lwd=3,las=2)
mtext("Quarterly percentage changes", side = 3, adj = 0, line = 0.1,
cex = 1, font = 0.5)
axis(1, at = xvals, label = dates, cex.axis = 1, las = 2)
mtext("Economic Sentiment Indicators", side = 3, adj = 0,
line = 1.2, cex = 2, font = 2)
legend(
"bottom",
lty = c(1,1),
lwd = c(3,3),
col = c("grey20", "green2"),
legend = c("Economic Sentiment Indicator", "GDP growth"),
bty = "n",
xjust = 0.5,
yjust = 0.5,
horiz = TRUE
)
}, height = 525)
esiData_DF is the DF used to index and plot the correct data. The dataframe has the country names down the left hand side with the dates, monthly across the top. I need the plot to render but it wont when I run the app. Any ideas?
The data continues to the right, up to May 2017 monthly.

R - Plot with two y axis, bars and points not aligned

For a customer I'm trying to do a combined barplot and lineplot (with points) with two y axis.
Problem: My bars and points are not aligned.
Background: We have several machines and are measuring their number of on/of switches and the amount of time that each machine is running. We want both information together in one plot to save space, because we have several machines.
The data is aggregated by day or hour. Here's some sample data:
date <- seq(as.Date("2016-10-01"), as.Date("2016-10-10"), "day")
counts <- c(390, 377, 444, NA, NA, NA, NA, 162, 166, 145)
runtime <- c(56.8, 59.4, 51.0, NA, NA, NA, NA, 38.5, 40.9, 43.4)
df <- data.frame(date = date, counts = counts, runtime = runtime)
Here's what I tried so far:
par(mar = c(3,4,4,4) + 0.3)
barplot(df$runtime, col = "palegreen2", border = "NA", ylab = "runtime in [%]",
ylim = c(0,100), font.lab = 2)
par(new = TRUE)
ymax <- max(df$counts, na.rm = TRUE) * 1.05
plot(df$date, df$counts, type = "n", xlab = "", ylab = "", yaxt = "n",
main = "Machine 1", ylim = c(0, ymax))
abline(v = date, col = "red", lwd = 2.5)
lines(df$date, df$counts, col = "blue", lwd = 2)
points(df$date, df$counts, pch = 19, cex = 1.5)
axis(4)
mtext("Number of switching operations", side = 4, line = 3, font = 2)
I found some inspiration for two axis here: http://robjhyndman.com/hyndsight/r-graph-with-two-y-axes/
What can I do to get bars with their middle aligned with the points of the lineplot?
The problem you are running into is the call to the second plot function after the barplot. This is shifting/resizing the plotting canvas which is causing the shift in the subsequent points.
Here is a quick work-around that just rescales the points and lines onto the barplot. It saves the barplot as an object, which stores x-axis locations for the mid-points of the bars. Then, when you plot the abline, lines and points using 'bp' as the x-axis variable, they will be correctly aligned.
ymax <- max(df$counts, na.rm = TRUE) * 1.05
par(mar=c(4.1,5.1,2.1,5.1))
bp <- barplot(df$runtime, col = "palegreen2", border = "NA", ylab = "runtime in [%]",
ylim = c(0,100), font.lab = 2, xlim=c(0.2,12), )
barplot(df$runtime, col = "palegreen2", ylab = "runtime in [%]", border="NA",
ylim = c(0,100), font.lab = 2)
abline(v = bp, col = "red", lwd = 2.5)
lines(bp, df$counts/ymax*100, col = "blue", lwd = 2)
points(bp, df$counts/ymax*100, pch = 19, cex = 1.5)
axis(4,at=c(0,20,40,60,80,100), labels=c("0","100","200","300","400","500"))
mtext("Number of switching operations", side = 4, line = 3, font = 2)
axis(1, at=bp, labels=df$date)
#emilliman: Thank you for your patience and input! Your plot is not completely correct, because the scaling of the second y-axis does not fit the points' values, but your idea helped me to find a solution!
Here's my new code:
library(plyr)
ymax <- max(df$counts, na.rm = TRUE)
ymax_up <- round_any(ymax, 100, f = ceiling)
ylab <- ymax_up/5 * c(0:5)
par(mar = c(3,4,4,4) + 0.3)
bp <- barplot(df$runtime, col = "palegreen2", border = "NA", ylab = "runtime in [%]",
ylim = c(0,100), font.lab = 2, main = "Machine 1")
abline(v = bp, col = "red", lwd = 2.5)
lines(bp, 100/ymax_up * df$counts, col = "blue", lwd = 2)
points(bp, 100/ymax_up * df$counts, pch = 19, cex = 1.5)
axis(4,at=c(0,20,40,60,80,100), labels= as.character(ylab))
mtext("Number of switching operations", side = 4, line = 3, font = 2)
xlab <- as.character(df$date, format = "%b %d")
axis(1, at=bp, labels = xlab)
abline(h = c(0,100))

Adding custom tick marks on R plot

I'm plotting a cdf of some data, and I've added logarithmic scale on the "x" axis.
The ticks spacing is exactly as I want it to be, but I'd like to be able to add
some tick marks on specific points.
I don't want to change the distribution of the ticks in my plot, from n by n to m by m, I want simply to have, among the ticks from n by n, some further tick marks on some values.
I'd like to have it reflected in both x and y axis, so that I can fit a grid into these new marks throughout the graph.
So far I have the graph, and the grid -- I don't mind about having the grid behind or upon the graph, I just want to add some custom ticks.
# Cumulative Distribuition
pdf("g1_3.pdf")
plot(x = f$V2, y = cumsum(f$V1), log = "x", pch = 3,
xlab = "Frequency", ylab = "P(X <= x)",
panel.first = grid(equilogs = FALSE))
axis(1, at = c(40, 150))
abline(h = 0.6, v = 40, col = "lightgray", lty = 3)
abline(h = 0.6, v = 150, col = "lightgray", lty = 3)
dev.off()
UPDATE: The graph I have so far:
Considering the initial script, and the tips given by #BenBolker, I had to use:
axis(side = 1, at = c([all the ticks you want]))
in order to add the ticks in the graph. Here's the final result:
# Cumulative Distribuition
pdf("g1_3.pdf")
plot(x = f$V2, y = cumsum(f$V1), log = "x", pch = 3,
xlab = "Frequency", ylab = "P(X <= x)", axes = FALSE)
ticks = c(1, 5, 10, 40, 150, 500, 1000)
axis(side = 1, at = ticks)
axis(side = 2)
abline(h = seq(0, 1, 0.2), v = ticks, col = "lightgray", lty = 3)
box()
