Line Graphs with Replicate Data: A Step-by-Step Guide with Error Bars
Line Graph from Replicate Data with Error Bars ===================================================== In this article, we’ll explore how to create a line graph that shows the growth curve of two variables (Media1 and Media2) on the same plot, using replicate data. We’ll also discuss how to add error bars to the line graph. Background When working with biological or experimental data, it’s common to have multiple replicates of each experiment. Replicates are identical copies of an experiment that are run under the same conditions.

Customizing Plot Symbols with R: A Step-by-Step Guide
Here’s the corrected code that uses a different symbol for each set of data points: bwtheme <- standard.theme("pdf", color = FALSE) mytheme$superpose.symbol$pch <- c(15,16,17,3) mytheme$superpose.symbol$col <- c("blue","red","green","purple") p4 <- xyplot(Rate~Weight|Rep+Temp, groups=Week, data=rate, as.table = TRUE, xlab="Weight (gr)", ylab="Rate (umol/L*gr)", main="All individuals and Treatments at all times", strip = strip.custom(strip.names = 1), par.settings=mytheme, auto.key=list(title="Week", cex.title=1, space="right")) This code uses the bwtheme and mytheme functions to create a theme that allows for different symbols to be used.
