Hello, had a quick search on the site but no luck.
Heres my problem, when attempting to xlab = NULL and ylab = NULL it displays
x[[1L]] and X[[2L]] as labels on the axis.
plot(USSenate[,1:2],col=c("blue","grey","red")[unclass(USSenate$Senate)],pch=unclass(USSenate$Senate),
type="n",xaxt="n", yaxt="n",main = NULL, sub =
NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab NULL)
Ive been able to get rid of it by xlab = " " but this is not
satisfactory as
the graph size must change as well.
Thanks to anyone who has a look at what must be a stupid question...

Contrast the behaviour of these two statements:> plot(x,y,xlab=NULL,ylab=NULL) > plot(x,y,xlab='',ylab='')In other words, use xlab='' to supress the label, not NULL. - Phil Spector Statistical Computing Facility Department of Statistics UC Berkeley spector at stat.berkeley.edu On Tue, 8 Feb 2011, poolmunch wrote:> > Hello, had a quick search on the site but no luck. > > Heres my problem, when attempting to xlab = NULL and ylab = NULL it displays > > x[[1L]] and X[[2L]] as labels on the axis. > > plot(USSenate[,1:2],col=c("blue","grey","red")[unclass(USSenate$Senate)],pch=unclass(USSenate$Senate), > type="n",xaxt="n", yaxt="n",main = NULL, sub = NULL, xlab = NULL, ylab > NULL) > > > > > Ive been able to get rid of it by xlab = " " but this is not satisfactory as > the graph size must change as well. > > Thanks to anyone who has a look at what must be a stupid question... > -- > View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Removing-X-and-Y-labels-in-graph-error-tp3276738p3276738.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >

And I see no change in plot size when going from one to the other. I don't understand what "... the graph size must change as well" means. > plot(1,1,xlab=NA, ylab=NA) > plot(1,1,xlab="", ylab="")> > Thanks to anyone who has a look at what must be a stupid question... > -- > View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Removing-X-and-Y-labels-in-graph-error-tp3276738p3276738.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.David Winsemius, MD West Hartford, CT
Have a look at ?par especially the "mar" argument, to get rid off the boundaries reserverd for labelling.

If you want to expand the area that the graph takes up (using the space that the labels would have been in) look at the "mar" part of ?par. -- Gregory (Greg) L.

Hey thanks for all the help, I did end up using layout, par, mar to reduce the labelling area and combine it with other plots. I also now understand NULL was the wrong argument to place in the field.
