How do I change the font size of the label in ggplot. For example
x=c("abcdefghijklmn", "opqrstuvwxyz")
y=c(1, 2)
df=data.frame(name=x, value=y)
p=ggplot(df, aes(name, y))+geom_point()
Now the name of "abcdefghijklmn" and "opqrstuvwxyz" are too
long. How can I
change the font size of them. And can I also change the orientation of them?
thanks

I can't reproduced this (function aes), but have you looked at ?par cex cex.axis (and so on) On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 11:55 AM, dhzdhz <myjunkbox at gmail.com> wrote:> > How do I change the font size of the label in ggplot.

Hi dhzdhz, There's currently no particularly easy way to do this. It is possible to use grid to edit these labels directly (see http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/book/grid.pdf), but the next version of ggplot2 will have a more convenient theming system that will make it much easier to make these sorts of changes.
