Is there any possibility to divide too long text in a plot to two or more lines, when using labels-parameter in the text()-command? Here is an example picture: http://users.utu.fi/attenka/253.jpeg My example script is something like this: text(1,0.7,labels=Chordnames[fnid(pcs%%12)]) # according to Larry Solomon's table http://solomonsmusic.net/pcsets.htm Chordnames is a long vector with long character strings.

If you labels have a known pattern you might be able to use gsub(). /Henrik> Atte Tenkanen > University of Turku > Finland > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > >-- Henrik Bengtsson Mobile: +46 708 909208 (+1h UTC)
