plotrix (version 3.6-4)

jiggle: Calculate equally spaced values within a range.

Description

Calculates a specified number of equally spaced values in a range

Usage

jiggle(n,range=c(-1,1))

Arguments

n
The number of values to calculate.
range
The range within which to fit the values.

Value

Details

jiggle is an alternative to the jitter function. Instead of using runif to provide the values, it calls sample and then scales the resulting values to the range specified. This guarantees that the values will be evenly spaced.

Examples

Run this code
 ahw.df<-data.frame(Age=rnorm(100,35,10),
  Height=rnorm(100,160,15),Weight=rnorm(100,75,20))
 par(mfrow=c(1,3))
 boxplot(ahw.df$Age,main="Age")
 points(jiggle(100,c(0.5,1.5)),ahw.df$Age,col="red")
 boxplot(ahw.df$Height,main="Height")
 points(jiggle(100,c(0.5,1.5)),ahw.df$Height,col="green")
 boxplot(ahw.df$Weight,main="Weight")
 points(jiggle(100,c(0.5,1.5)),ahw.df$Weight,col="blue")
