Playing around with examples from MASS4, I found a font problem in the
mosaicplot in R-2.3.0. It doesn't happen in other plots. Running this
example from MASS4, page 326...
library(MASS)
caith1 <- as.matrix(caith)
names(dimnames(caith1)) <- c("eyes", "hair")
mosaicplot(caith1, color = TRUE)
...I get an image as attached. The column and row labels are unreadable.
It is true for both x11() and png() devices.
I can adjust the font sizes with the "cex.axis" argument and get a
readable labels if the parameter is correct (0.8 works here), but the
general problem it's not really the font sizes. There are small versions
of the screen fonts that _are_ readable. I believe I should be able to
get small, but readable labels. It's not possible to specify a font,
because mosaicplot doesn't accept the "font.axis" parameter.
Looking at the demo(graphics), I can also recognize some unreadable
labels. Do you think it's only the matter of the X-Window system?
Installed fonts? Any hints appreciated.
Regards,
Maciej

Hi Maciej, fyi - on winxp-pro 2.3.0-patched and up to date MASS - I can clearly read the labels, except the start of the word 'black' is clipped, but the font size is fine. cheers, Sean On 21/05/06, Maciej Blizi?ski <m.blizinski at wit.edu.pl> wrote:> Playing around with examples from MASS4, I found a font problem in the > mosaicplot in R-2.3.0.

Hi all, I have a question regarding normality testing with the nortest package. I have to admit, my question is so general that it might more be suited a newsgroup such as sci.math. However, just in case it is implemented differently, I was hoping someone who has used it can help me out. I just want to double check that for all of the tests, the null hypothesis is whether or not the input distribution *differs* with the normal distribution. So, if you get a p-value less than (say) 0.05, you can reject the null hypothesis at a 95% confidence level and say that the input distribution is *not* normal. So these tests check/confirm whether a distribution is not normal...as opposed to confirming that it is normal. Does this sound about right? Ray

Maciej> Any hints appreciated. Yes, it's a matter of the X - font server of your X-window system. As help(png) clearly notes, png() itself is also using the x11() internals. For me, the labels are all well readable for the above example; even here (at work) where the font server is still not providing correct font sizes too often for my taste -- e.g. when drawing graphs with the Rgraphviz package {from bioconductor}.
