A
lollipop plot
is basically a barplot, where the bar is
transformed in a line and a dot. It shows the relationship between a
numeric and a categorical variable. This page displays many lollipop
plots made with R with their source code.
Lollipop charts can be created using ggplot2: the trick
is to combine geom_point() for the dots with
geom_segment() for the stems. See this
basic example to see how to
proceed.
The web is full of astonishing R charts made by awesome bloggers. The R graph gallery tries to display some of the best creations and explain how their source code works. If you want to display your work here, please drop me a word or even better, submit a Pull Request!
