\Header{stripplot}{1-D Scatter Plots}
\keyword{hplot}{stripplot}
\begin{Description}\relax
\code{stripplot} produces one dimensional scatter plots (or dot plots)
of the given data.  These plots are are good alternative to
\code{\Link{boxplot}}s when sample sizes are small.

Extensive examples of the use of this kind of plot can be found in
Box, Hunter and Hunter or Seber and Wild.\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
stripplot(x, method="overplot", jitter=0.1, offset=1/3,
        vertical=FALSE, group.names,
        xlim=NULL, ylim=NULL, main="", ylab="", xlab="",
        pch=0, col=par("fg"), cex=par("cex"))
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{x}] the data from which the plots are to be produced.
The data can be specified as a single vector, or as
list of vectors, each corresponding to a component plot.
Alternatively a symbolic specification of the form
\code{x $\,\tilde{\,}$ g} can be given, indicating the the observations
in the vector \code{x} are to be grouped according to
the levels of the factor \code{g}.
\code{NA}s are allowed in the data.
\item[\code{method}] the method to be used to separate coincident points.
The default method \code{"overplot"} causes such points to be overplotted,
but it is also possible to specify \code{"jitter"} to jitter the
points, or \code{"stack"} have coincident points stacked.
The last method only makes sense for very granular data.
\item[\code{jitter}] when jittering is used, \code{jitter} gives the
amount of jittering applied.
\item[\code{offset}] when stacking is used, points are stacked this many
line-heights (symbol widths) apart.
\item[\code{vertical}] when vertical is \code{TRUE} the plots are
drawn vertically rather than the default horizontal.
\item[\code{group.names}] group labels which will be printed alongside
(or underneath) each plot.
\item[\code{...}] Graphical parameters can also be specified as arguments.
