Mark:
It could be that -0.5 is too big of a shift in the text. Here is an
example where -0.5 does not work but -0.05 is just about right:
prob12matrix <- matrix(runif(32), ncol=16)
par(mar=c(7,4,4,2) + 0.1)
mp<-barplot(prob12matrix, axisnames=FALSE)
axis(1, at=mp, labels=FALSE)
labels<-c("+","+|+","+|++","+|-+","+|+++","+|-++","+|+-+","+|++-","+|+++
+","+|-+++","+|+-++","+|++-+","+|+++-","+|--++","+|-+-+","+|-++-")
text(mp, par("usr")[3]-0.05, srt=45, adj=1, labels=labels, xpd=TRUE)
You need to experiment with how far down to shift the text from
par("usr")[3].
hope this helps,
