How to create vertical line in xyplot in R?

R Programming Server Side Programming Programming

To create vertical line in xyplot, we can use abline function.

For Example, if we have a data frame called df that contains two columns say X and Y and we want to create a scatterplot between X and Y using xyplot with a vertical line at X = 2 then we can use the below command −

xyplot(y~x,df,abline=c(v=2))

Example

Consider the data frame given below −

x<-rnorm(20)
y<-rnorm(20)
df<-data.frame(x,y)
df

The following dataframe is created

             x          y
1  -1.16650463  1.72807759
2  -0.74691131  0.98477997

To load the lattice package and create a scatterplot between x and y on the above created data frame, add the following code to the above snippet −

x<-rnorm(20)
y<-rnorm(20)
df<-data.frame(x,y)
library(lattice)
xyplot(y~x,df)

Output

If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following Output −

To create a scatterplot between x and y with vertical line X = 0 on the above created data frame, add the following code to the above snippet −

x<-rnorm(20)
y<-rnorm(20)
df<-data.frame(x,y)
library(lattice)
xyplot(y~x,df,abline=c(v=0))

Output

If you execute all the above given snippets as a single program, it generates the following Output −
