Hi Is there any way to position a key (legend) outside the plot area? i.e. in the margin between plot area and page margin. I realise I could achieve the same effect by creating a larger plot but not printing the axes and then draw the smaller axes independantly leaving room for the key. However, that wont work very well in my particular case. Thanks in advance Jeremy

Hi peoples, I'm trying to work out a function which will allow me to relace column names on the basis of substrings within the existing names. e.g. I'd like: blah.Na blah2.Na blah3.Mg blah4.Mg blah5.K blah6.K R1 x x x x x x R2 x x x x x x ... to become: Na (%) Na (%) Mg (%) Mg

To creat a series of plots I've constructed the following, however this doesn't work because the colnames being feed into n are embraced by quotes which is stuffing up the plotting function. Is there a way to suppress to quotes? coercion in to a different format?? for (n in colnames(tt[7:36])) { par(ask=T) attach(tt) plot(july~n) ... }

Hi again, another problem: This (below) isn't working and as far as I can see it damn well should. What I'm trying to acomplish is to run several data sets through the same graphing procedure, but for the pH data use a log y axis. using this code all graphs are drawn with a linear axis. Surely I should be able to set the ylog option to T using another object (logaxis). for (n in

Hi, I'm just coming to grips with "for" looping etc. and have a bit of a problem: I want to generate a sequence which goes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 26 27 ... i.e. 8 consecutive numbers then 5 missed then the next 8 numbers etc. I was going to do this using the seq() function but couldn't figure out how so I thought I'd try a loop: for (x in seq(1,650,13)) {

Does anyone know how to include point characters in plotted text strings i.e. text() or mtext()? Jeremy

Hi, I'm trying to construct a legend which has four lines of text and associated symbols. The first two symbols need to be normal lines which vary only in colour. The second two symbols should have filled boxes. How do I suppress the fill boxes in the first two lines? J.
