Dear List,
I need a barplot with vertical bars. Each bar should have a label.
The problem is, that the labels are too long, so they overlap, or
only every seccond label is displayed in the output.
Here is a little syntax:
dd <- c(100,110,90,105,95)
barplot(dd,names.arg=c('Conduct Disorders','Attention Deficit',
'Eating Disorders',
'Substance Abuse','Developmental
Disorders'))
My question is, if there is a chance to force a line break in each label.
The result shoud look like this:
Bar1 Bar2 Bar3 Bar4 Bar5
Conduct Attention Eating Substance Developmental
Disorders Disorders Disorders Abuse Disorders
The result could also look like this:
Bar1 Bar2 Bar3 Bar4 Bar5
| | | | |
Conduct Disorders | Eating Disordes | Developmental Disordes
| |
Attention deficit Substance Abuse
Many thanks in advance
Udo

Try this:
nm <- c('Conduct Disorders','Attention Deficit', 'Eating
Disorders','Substance Abuse','Developmental Disorders')
barplot(dd, names.arg = gsub(" ", "\n", nm))

Udo, You can try inserting a newline where you need the break in your labels:> dd.names <- c('Conduct Disorders','Attention Deficit', 'Eating Disorders','Substance Abuse','Developmental Disorders')> dd.names.2 <- sapply(dd.names, function(x) gsub("\\s", "\\\n", x)) > barplot(dd, names.arg=dd.names.2)-Christos> -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-bounces at r-project.org > [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org] On Behalf Of Udo > Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 2:43 PM > To: r-help at r-project.org > Subject: [R] Barplot: Vertical bars with long labels > > Dear List, > I need a barplot with vertical bars.
