\title{Summary with graph}
\description{Summary of data frame in a convenient table. Summary of a variable with statistics and graph}
\usage{
summ(x = .data, by = NULL, graph = TRUE, box = FALSE, pch = 18,
ylab = "auto", main = "auto", cex.X.axis = 1, cex.Y.axis = 1,
dot.col = "auto", ...)
}
\details{For data frames, 'summ' gives basic statistics of each variable in the data frame. The other arguments are ignored.
For single vectors, a sorted dot chart is also provided, if graph=TRUE (default).}
\arguments{
\item{x}{'x' can be a data frame or a vector. 'summ()' is the same as 'summ(.data)'}
\item{by}{a stratification variable, valid only when x is a vector}
\item{graph}{automatic plot (sorted dot chart) if 'x' is a vector}
\item{box}{add a boxplot to the graph (by=NULL)}
\item{pch}{plot characters}
\item{ylab}{annotation on Y axis}
\item{main}{main title of the graph}
\item{cex.X.axis}{character extension scale of X axis}
\item{cex.Y.axis}{character extension scale of Y axis}
\item{dot.col}{colour(s) of plot character(s)}
\item{...}{additional graph parameters}
