[R] Remove plot axis values in dotplot graph

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Abou,
Surprisingly you can't omit the x axis in dotchart. This hack will work:

sink("dotchar_noax.R")
sink()

Edit the resulting file by joining the first two lines with the
assignment symbol (<-), delete the two lines at the bottom and comment
out the line "axis(1)".

source("dotchart.noax.R")
dotchart.noax(scores,cex=1.5, pch = 18, col=c(1:3), xaxt = "n", main="Dot Plot
 child’s cough data", xlab="cough Scores")
library(plotrix)
staxlab(1,0:16)

I used "staxlab" so that you could have all of the labels 0:16.

Jim
