Hello, I could not find an easy way to have the plot function not display the default x and y-axis labels, I would like to customize it to show only points of interest ... I would like to: 1- call plot that show no x-axis and y-axis labels 2- call axis specifying the exact points of interest for the x and y-axis Maybe they can both be achieved in the plot function call but I can't find the right way to do it ... Thanks in advance, Best regards, Giovanni
Hello, I found the answer here: statmethods.net/advgraphs/axes.html basically plot(...,axes=FALSE,...) ## avoids default axis labels Best regards, Giovanni On May 14, 2010, at 11:31 AM, Giovanni Azua wrote:> Hello, > > I could not find an easy way to have the plot function not display the default x and y-axis labels, I would like to customize it to show only points of interest ...
