stem() plot function (similar to MATLAB) for Julia + Winston - julia

I am using Winston library with Julia for plotting. What is the stem plot equivalent in Winston as in MATLAB?
(Note : Here winston is in the tag entries is different from Winston library of Julia.)

Not sure there is something built in, but this seems to get what you want
using Winston
x = randn(10)
function stemplot(x, args...)
n = length(x)
p = FramedPlot()
add(p, Points(1:n, x, kind="filled circle"))
map(i-> add(p, Curve([i,i], [0,x[i]])), 1:n)
add(p, Curve([1,n], [0,0]))
p
end
stemplot(x)

There is now a stem plot function in the Winston package. Here is the docs page: http://winston.readthedocs.org/en/latest/fun/stem.html
tl;dr:
stem(y[,spec::ASCIIString])
stem(x,y[,spec::ASCIIString])

Error when using "panel.ellipse" function in R

I want to draw a confidence ellipse. I search the R document and find the function: panel.ellipse. Here is the description website
Then I tried. I used the code below:
library(corrgram)
a<-c(1,2,3,4,5)
b<-c(2,4,6,5,3)
panel.ellipse(a, b)
But an error occur:
Error in plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), type = type, ...) :
plot.new has not been called yet
I didn't call "plot.new", why did R say that?
You're linking to the latticeExtra::panel.ellipse function in the description link, but seem to be using corrgram which also has a panel.ellipse function. So I'm not sure which panel.ellipse function you are using/want to use.
From ?corrgram::panel.ellipse:
# CAUTION: The latticeExtra package also has a 'panel.ellipse' function
# that clashes with the same-named function in corrgram. In order to us
# the right one, the example below uses 'lower.panel=corrgram::panel.ellipse'.
# If you do not have latticeExtra loaded, you can just use
# 'lower.panel=panel.ellipse'.
Why not use ggplot2::stat_ellipse instead?
# Your sample data
a<-c(1,2,3,4,5)
b<-c(2,4,6,5,3)
df <- cbind.data.frame(a, b);
# Use stat_ellipse to draw confidence ellipse
require(ggplot2);
ggplot(df, aes(a, b)) + geom_point() + stat_ellipse();

Saving all the bar graphs for a dataset in pdf from R [duplicate]

I'd like to spawn several graphics windows from within a function in R using ggplot graphics...
testf <- function(a, b) {
devAskNewPage(TRUE)
qplot(a, b);
# grid.newpage(recording = TRUE)
dev.new()
qplot(a, a+a);
# grid.newpage(recording = TRUE)
dev.new()
qplot(b, b+b);
}
library(ggplot2)
x <- rnorm(50)
y <- rnorm(50)
testf(x, y)
However, neither dev.new() nor grid.newpage() seems to flush the preceding plot.
I know that, in R, functions normally only produce the last thing they evaluate, but I'd like to understand the process better and to learn of any possible workarounds.
Thoughts?
The grid-based graphics functions in lattice and ggplot2 create a graph object, but do not display it. The print() method for the graph object produces the actual display, i.e.,
print(qplot(x, y))
solves the problem.

Julia: Plot matrix with Gadfly.jl

I'm trying to plot a matrix with Gadfly, like I can do with PyPlot's matshow:
using PyPlot
p = eye(5)
p[5,5] = -1
matshow(p)
But I took a look at the docs, and found nothing. How can I do it with Gadfly?
Gadfly has a spy() function which does the same thing.
using Gadfly
p = eye(5)
p[end, end] = -1
spy(p)

R package lattice won't plot if run using source()

I started using the lattice graphic package but I stumbled into a problem. I hope somebody can help me out.
I want to plot a histogram using the corresponding function.
Here is the file foo.r:
library("lattice")
data <- data.frame(c(1:2),c(2:3))
colnames(data) <- c("RT", "Type")
pdf("/tmp/baz.pdf")
histogram( ~ RT | factor(Type), data = data)
dev.off()
When I run this code using R --vanilla < foo.r it works all fine.
However, if I use a second file bar.r with
source("bar")
and run R --vanilla < bar.r the code produces an erroneous pdf file.
Now I found out that source("bar", echo=TRUE) solves the problem. What is going on here? Is this a bug or am I missing something?
I'm using R version 2.13.1 (2011-07-08) with lattice_0.19-30
It is in the FAQ for R -- you need print() around the lattice function you call:
7.22 Why do lattice/trellis graphics not work?
The most likely reason is that you forgot to tell R to display the
graph. Lattice functions such as xyplot() create a graph object, but
do not display it (the same is true of ggplot2 graphics, and Trellis
graphics in S-Plus). The print() method for the graph object produces
the actual display. When you use these functions interactively at the
command line, the result is automatically printed, but in source() or
inside your own functions you will need an explicit print() statement.
Example of the case
visualise.r
calls plot2this.r
calls ggplot2 and returns p object
Here the fix in the function plot2this.r from return(p) to return(print(p)).
Initial plot2this.r
p <- ggplot(dat.m, aes(x = Vars, y = value, fill=variable))
return(p)
Fix
p <- ggplot(dat.m, aes(x = Vars, y = value, fill=variable))
return(print(p))
Output now: expected output with the wanted plot.

Generate multiple graphics from within an R function

y <- rnorm(50)
testf(x, y)
