Hello, I have made a barplot with some data and need a description below the x-axis. For example there are 20 values and I need a description "2003" for the first four values, then "2005" for the next eleven and "2006" for the last five values. I want the description below the x-axis-labels and above the x-axis title. Thanks, Christian
I think ?mtext should show you how to do what you want.

?mtext, also ?barplot since barplot returns midpoints of the bars.
also ?rep for setting up a vector of repeating values.
something like this:
xLabels<-c(rep("2003",4),rep("2005",11),rep("2006",5))
midPoints<-barplot(<your original statements here>)
mtext(xLabels,side=1,at=apply(midPoints,2,mean))

I have try to use mtext but I cannot plot the description below the x-axis.
I have used
mtext(xLabels,side=1,at=apply(midPoints,2,mean))
and the text appears between the axis and the names.arg But I wont it below the
args, above the axis-labels.

Add the option line=2 to mtext, like this:
y <- 1:4
barplot(y,xlab="xaxis",names.arg=1:4)
mtext("Mtext label",side=1,line=2)

Thanks, that works but what are the coordinates of "at" in the y-direction? On which y-position mtext plots?
