R help - Apr 2010 - Basic doubt on ylim

Hi all,

I'm a newbie with R and with a very basic question.
Can I define the minor unit for ylim? For example, I have a y scale ranging
from 1 to 14, jumping automatically every 2 units, but I want it to jump 1
unit at a time...is it possible? I tried something like
>boxplot(bla[,1], xlim=c(1,15,1) 
and it didn't obbey... 
:( any suggestion??

Cheers from Portugal!
Patrícia

Hi,

Take a look at ?par and especially the xaxp argument.
I'm not quite sure, but if it's not this one, it's probably another
one
in par()

HTH,
Ivan

Maybe changing to

boxplot(bla[,1], ylim=c(1,15,1)

Hi Patricia,
This seems to be the "intelligent spacing" problem that often appears
on
the list. If you ask for more than about eight labels on the default 
sized plotting device without also asking for a smaller font size (cex), 
R will tidy them up by ignoring some. You can force the axis labels to 
some extent by using:

axis(2,1:15)

If you find that your labels begin to overlap, have a look at the 
staxlab function in the plotrix package.
