\name{jiggle} \alias{jiggle} \title{ Calculate equally spaced values within a range. } \description{ Calculates a specified number of equally spaced values in a range } \usage{ jiggle(n,range=c(-1,1)) } \arguments{ \item{n}{The number of values to calculate.} \item{range}{The range within which to fit the values.} } \details{ \samp{jiggle} is an alternative to the \samp{jitter} function. Instead of using \samp{runif} to provide the values, it calls \samp{sample} and then scales the resulting values to the range specified. This guarantees that the values will be evenly spaced. } \value{ A vector of n values within the range specified. } \author{Jim Lemon} \examples{ ahw.df<-data.frame(Age=rnorm(100,35,10), Height=rnorm(100,160,15),Weight=rnorm(100,75,20)) par(mfrow=c(1,3)) boxplot(ahw.df$Age,main="Age") points(jiggle(100,c(0.5,1.5)),ahw.df$Age,col="red") boxplot(ahw.df$Height,main="Height") points(jiggle(100,c(0.5,1.5)),ahw.df$Height,col="green") boxplot(ahw.df$Weight,main="Weight") points(jiggle(100,c(0.5,1.5)),ahw.df$Weight,col="blue") } \keyword{misc}
