Hi R users
I need to specify some parameter input in plot code to move Y text label to
left.
plot(temp, develo_rate, xlab = expression(paste("Temperature
(C"^o,")")),
ylab = expression(paste("Development rate
(d"^-1,")")),las=1,pch=19,
xlim=c(0,32),ylim=c(0,0.03),xaxs = "i", yaxs = "i")
Plot result is added.
any help?
Ivan

Try this:
par(mar=c(4,6,2,1))
plot(0, xlab = expression(paste("Temperature (C"^o,")")),
ylab = "" ,las=1,pch=19,
xlim=c(0,32),ylim=c(0,0.03),xaxs = "i", yaxs = "i")
mtext(expression(paste("Development rate (d"^-1,")")), 2,
line=4)

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?

The problem is that the left margin of the plot is not big enough to allow good separation between the axes label and the axes numbering. You can adjust the plot margins by calling the par() function before creating your plot. In this case you want to indicate that you are setting the mar option and pass a vector of four numbers: par( mar = c(bottom, left, top, right) ) Note that the defaults for mar are: c( 5.1, 4.1, 4.1, 2.1 ) Hope that helps! -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/moving-text-labels-in-plot-tp24668930p24670000.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
