bar.group {agricolae} | R Documentation

## Plotting the multiple comparison of means

### Description

It plots bars of the averages of treatments to compare. It uses the objects generated by a procedure of comparison like LSD, HSD, Kruskall, Waller-Duncan, Friedman or Durbin. It can also display the 'average' value over each bar in a bar chart.

### Usage

    bar.group(x, horiz = FALSE, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | Object created by a test of comparison
`horiz` | Horizontal or vertical bars
`...` | Parameters of the function barplot()

### Details

x: data frame formed by 5 columns: name of the bars, height and level of the bar.

### Value

A list with numeric vectors giving the coordinates of all the bar midpoints drawn.

`x` | eje-1 coordinate
`height` | eje-2 coordinate by group

### Examples

    # Example 1
    library(agricolae)
    data(sweetpotato)
    model<-aov(yield~virus,data=sweetpotato)
    comparison<- LSD.test(model,"virus",alpha=0.01,group=TRUE)
    print(comparison$groups)
    #startgraph
    par(cex=1.5)
    bar.group(comparison$groups,horiz=TRUE,density=8,col="blue",border="red",
    xlim=c(0,50),las=1)
    title(cex.main=0.8,main="Comparison between\ntreatment means",xlab="Yield",ylab="Virus")
    #endgraph
    # Example 2
    library(agricolae)
    x <- 1:4
    y <- c(0.29, 0.44, 0.09, 0.49)
    xy <- data.frame(x,y,y)
    #startgraph
    par(cex=1.5)
    bar.group(xy,density=30,angle=90,col="brown",border=FALSE,ylim=c(0,0.6),lwd=2,las=1)
    #endgraph
