Does anyone know how to make this type of graph (attached) in Rstudio? I would like to do this with my dataset, of which I give an example below.:

Etapa = c("Antes", "Antes", "Antes", "Antes", "Antes", "Antes", "Despues", "Despues", "Despues", "Despues"),
  Distancia = c("costera", "costera", "zona.difusores", "zona.difusores", "sitio.referencia", "sitio.referencia",
                "costera", "costera", "zona.difusores", "zona.difusores"),
  Lado = c("Norte", "Sur", "Norte", "Sur", "Norte", "Sur", "Norte", "Sur", "Norte", "Sur"),
  pequeño = c(2740, 4100, 18380, 3880, 7300, 520, 3160, 1980, 1130, 522),
  mediano = c(2240, 3240, 2700, 11680, 1760, 3700, 15590, 1070, 2850, 4523),
  grande = c(1080, 980, 8380, 6580, 2080, 1822, 3320, 1120, 14900, 2531),
  ali.deposito = c(1580, 1740, 17160, 10220, 4400, 4922, 17400, 2700, 16230, 3471),
  predaror = c(2180, 3440, 4680, 4920, 1840, 940, 980, 990, 1950, 442),
  filtrador.sus = c(1400, 1780, 17040, 5180, 6180, 4320, 18860, 2670, 2850, 4660),
  herbiboro = c(520, 20, 6420, 3640, 3880, 460, 2230, 80, 630, 32),
  baja = c(3360, 4460, 19920, 13220, 7660, 4760, 19310, 1920, 16120, 4893),
  media = c(980, 800, 5280, 2600, 2980, 1820, 1680, 1860, 1870, 712),
  alta = c(160, 100, 6880, 460, 1840, 222, 430, 30, 880, 20),

If it is not possible to make this kind of graphs, I would like some ideas on how to represent my data in the best way.

It's unclear to me how the data and the plot are related.

It's definitely possible to draw triangles and place text on a plot using R (although not trivial), but your example plot looks like the position of the text is decided manually (by aligning text), rather than programmatically (by x and y coordinates). So I think your example plot would just be easier to draw on Illustrator or Inkscape.

Hi @GraCuello -

That doesn't look like a graph to me, just a PowerPoint slide and some clip art. I'm not sure you'll find a way to perfect triangles in RStudio, unless you use synthetic data to force that relationship.

What does your data represent and what relationship are you trying to show?

Best,
Randy

Hi Randyzwitch,
the relationship I am trying to show is how my traits (predator, herbivore, etc) vary across my three factors (Side, Stage and Distance) and their respective levels. Previously I made a PCA but it was very confusing as the arrows were too close together and you couldn't see the differences. I am looking for a clearer graph to represent my data.
Thanks for your reply.
