Figures 3.21-3.23: error bar dotted lines too light #59

Closed friendly closed 9 years ago

Copy editors complained about these, but I'm not sure if we can do anything about it. distplot() does not allow control of the parameters of the lines for the CIs, using

    grid.segments(RVAL[, 1], RVAL[, 6], RVAL[, 1], RVAL[, 
        7], default.units = "native", gp = gpar(lty = 3))

I don't think they are that bad, but of course the are all drawn 1/2 column widith, so that makes the lines fainter.

I could of course add a gp_conf_int = gpar(lty = 3, lwd = ...) argument to control this.

What provokes the problem is the default lty=3, which may be just legacy from my SAS implementation. That's OK for full sized plots, but doesn't scale down well. lty=2 would be a better default, but we might as well add a gpar() argument to control this generally.

If you can add this to vcd::distplot, I'll modify the figure code.

done in rev. 825 (with default lty=2).

Great! Re-ran Ch 3, and they look better.
