Horizontal plots, sorted order, with multiple colors

Opened this issue · 2 comments

plot.qv is used by various packages to plot the returned value of qvcalc, e.g., the BradleyTerry2 package.

The x-axis might not be long enough to fit all the names of the items. In this case switching the x/y axis makes sense.

Also Sorting the items makes it easier to figure out the relative ordering.

Thirdly, can we have support for more colors please.

Here is one output from qvcalc I plotted 'by hand' (you are welcome to my code, but I'm sure it's just as easy for you to code):

plot-qv

Thanks, these are good suggestions and I have added them to my to-do list. Possibly I will implement this by making a (flexible) aesthetic for ggplot2, instead of (or maybe in addition to) making available more options for base R graphics.

Great.

Base R is good for minimizing dependencies. I know people get sucked into using ggplot, but my core audience (software developers) are casual users of R and I try and stick with basic requirements.
