Dear Help Desk,
Is there any way to change some of the labels on R diagrams?
Specifically in histograms, I would like to:
1. change the word frequency to count.
2. Make the font of the title (Histogram of …) smaller.
3. Have a different word below the histogram than the one
occurring in the title (right now if you choose X for your variable, it comes
both above the histogram (in the phrase Histogram of X) and below it).
Thanks for your time,
Nima

First of all, this is not a "Help Desk". Second, please make sure that you put an informative subject line: I thought this was spam and was going to delete it.

But this is all R 101 and you could have found this by reading the "An Introduction to R" manual that comes with your R installation or can be found at the R website (www.r-project.org Manuals section of menu), and by reading the help for ?hist and ?par (for cex.main).> PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.Please do.

hist(rnorm(100),xlab="Data",ylab="Count",main="") title(main="Histogram of ...",cex=0.5) see ?par for details on xlab, ylab, main, and cex arguments. You can call these from title() or include them in hist(). I called title(main=..) separately to control its size separately from the rest of the text (axis and tick labels). --- Nima Tehrani <nisate at yahoo.com> wrote:> Dear Help Desk, > > Is there any way to change some of the labels on R diagrams? > > Specifically in histograms, I would like to: > > 1. change the word frequency to count. > 2.
