I've got a graph with really long labels. I've tried decreasing the
font size, but they're still getting truncated. I've RTFMed & it
seems that mgp should have something to do with this, but I can't make
it work. I need about 2-3x as much space for labels as is available
by default (or on the example below).
boxplot(split(ranks,c(1:25)), names=items, horizontal=F)
par(las=2,ps=7,mgp=c(1, 1, 0))
boxplot(split(ranks,c(1:25)), names=items, notch=T, horizontal=F, add=F)
abline(h=18)
abline(h=13)
abline(h=10)
abline(v=5.5)
abline(v=10.5)
abline(v=15.5)
abline(v=20.5)
par(ps=20)
for (x in 1:5) text(x*5-2,y=26, categories[x])
P.S. Many thanks to the folks who responded to my last plea for help
with not being able to find order() in the man pages. I don't know
how I missed it. I even looked for it in the "See Also" of the sort
and rank manpages (where it's pointed to). I'm sure this problem is
similarly trivial, but I just can't see it.

[R] increasing space available for labels
hallo, try inside text srt=90 (rotate the text) and cex=0.5 (or smaller it scales the text) joerg maeder> I've got a graph with really long labels.
