barplot filled with symbols — symbolbarplot • plotrix

Produces a barplot where each piece of the barplot is filled with the number of symbols equal to the size of the bar

Usage

symbolbarplot(height,width=1,space=NULL,names.arg=NULL,
  legend.text=NULL,beside=FALSE,horiz=FALSE,col=heat.colors(NR),
  border=par("fg"),main=NULL,sub=NULL,xlab=NULL,ylab=NULL,xlim=NULL,
  ylim=NULL,axes=TRUE,axisnames=TRUE,inside=TRUE,plot=TRUE,rel.width=0.8,
  symbol="circles",symbbox=TRUE,debug=FALSE,...)

Arguments

height: numeric vector or matrix of barplot heights
width: width of bars
space: space between bars
names.arg: vector of names
legend.text: vector of legend text
beside: (logical) plot bars beside each other?
horiz: (logical) horizontal barplot?
col: vector of colors
border: plot border?
main: main title
sub: subtitle
xlab: x axis label
ylab: y axis label
xlim: x limits
ylim: y limits
axes: draw axes?
axisnames: label horizontal axis?
inside: draw lines dividing adjacent bars?
plot: produce plot?
rel.width: relative width of symbols
symbol: which symbol to use
