With an ordinary plot, to customise the axis it is possible to suppress
drawing the axis and then call Axis. I have been trying to change the
location of the y-axis on a plot.table plot to the right hand side, but
cannot even work out how to suppress drawing the labels.
Here is a toy example of the sort of plot I am working with. Any suggestions
as to how to have the axis on the right hand side not the left hand side
would be appreciated.
set.seed(2)
data <- data.frame(x= floor(runif(80)*5)+1, y=floor(runif(80)*5)+1)
data$a <- c("Cow", "Dog", "Fish",
"Mouse", "Frog")[data$x]
data$b <- c("Banana", "Apple", "Pear",
"Orange", "Melon")[data$y]
plot(table(data$a, data$b), col=rainbow(5), las=1, main="")
Regards,
Sean.

"plot" calls mosaicplot, and looking at the code it seems that the labels are rather hard-wired. Even dirty tricks like setting the margins do not help, and data$a <- c("", "", "", "", "")[data$x] neither. So I would recommend to use package vcd instead, which has very detailed detail handling.

I see vcd had a detailed vignette. That should help me get to grips with mosaic, which does appear to be extremely flexible. -- Sean Carmody The Stubborn Mule http://www.stubbornmule.net http://twitter.com/seancarmody [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
