I have a problem with the ylabs in barplot. When I draw the bars
horizontal the text for the y axis is not drawn horizontal too.
The text remains vertical. How can I change that. Thank's for your advice.
There is an example below.
##Example
plot.new()
jib <- data.frame(c(1:15),c(11:25),c(15:1),c(25:11))
colnames(jib) <-
c("eins","zwei","drei","vier")
rownames(jib) <- c("AT", "BE", "DK",
"FI", "FR", "DE",
"GR", "IE", "IT", "LU",
"NL", "PT", "ES", "SE",
"UK" )
jib <- as.matrix(jib)
jib <- t(jib)
barplot(jib, horiz=TRUE)
jib
## End Example
Try this: bp <- barplot(jib, horiz=TRUE, yaxt = 'n') axis(2, at = bp, labels = colnames(jib), tick = FALSE, las = 2) On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 10:00 AM, dat <naor@gmx.at> wrote:> > I have a problem with the ylabs in barplot.

Dear dat, Try this: barplot(jib, horiz=TRUE,las=1) HTH, Jorge On Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 9:00 AM, dat <naor@gmx.at> wrote:> > I have a problem with the ylabs in barplot.

See ?par for more information barplot(jib2, horiz = TRUE, las = 1) Data frames are best used when you have columns with differing data types (think database table or spreadsheet). When the data is of a single type, as in this case, just use a matrix directly. HTH, Marc Schwartz
