[Traminer-users] Seqplots with multiple different states

[Matthias Studer]

Hi Philippe,

As far as I know, there are no simple solution to do that in R and if 
you find any solution I would be really interested. One workaround  is 
to edit your plot with Gimp (or another software) and replace each color 
by a pattern.

I'm not sure that the following solution is what you are looking for but 
it might help. A least, type="d" and type="i" use barplot in the 
backside and you may use the "density" and "angle" argument to get 
different patterns. However, this is limited to filling the bars with 
lines with different "densities" and "angles"

data(biofam)
biofam.lab <- c("Parent", "Left", "Married", "Left+Marr",
  "Child", "Left+Child", "Left+Marr+Child", "Divorced")
biofam.seq <- seqdef(biofam, 10:25, labels=biofam.lab)

## Biofam has 8 states, automatically generating 8 densities and 8 angles
seqplot(biofam.seq, type="d", density=1:8*2, angle=1:8*25)

Hope this help,
Matthias

PS: There is a website to search in almost all R websites and 
mailing-lists: http://www.rseek.org/
