Dear all,
I am ploting two boxplot of two chemical variables using the format
boxplot(Alkalinity, logAlkalinity, log="y",
col=c("lightblue"), lwd=0.6, boxwex=0.3)
However when I plot like this, the distance between the two boxplots is very big
and as well the distance of each boxplot from the plot area, left and right. How
can I minimise that distance between the boxplots and as well the distance of
each boxplot from the left and right margin of the plot area?
Another question is that when I write in the above
ylab="Concentration", I get in the y axis as well in each tick and a
number. How can I not have this but only the text?
Thank you.
Kind regards
Maria

Hi Maria, I think we need some sample data and code to really be ablo to help. in the meantime have have a look at ?par for general plotting info. --- On Sun, 3/13/11, Lathouri, Maria <m.lathouri06 at imperial.ac.uk> wrote:> From: Lathouri, Maria <m.lathouri06 at imperial.ac.uk> > Subject: [R] how to change the margins of a plot area > To: "r-help at r-project.org" <r-help at r-project.org> > Received: Sunday, March 13, 2011, 8:15 AM > Dear all, > > I am ploting two boxplot of two chemical variables using > the format > boxplot(Alkalinity, logAlkalinity, log="y", > col=c("lightblue"), lwd=0.6, boxwex=0.3) > > However when I plot like this, the distance between the two > boxplots is very big and as well the distance of each > boxplot from the plot area, left and right.

Dear all I have attached a file in a csv format, with two variables; the code that I am using to plot the boxplots is>boxplot(ALKY, CL, ylab="Concentration", lwd=0.7, boxwex=0.4)I hope this will help.

Dear all I am sorry about that; I thought that since in R csv formats are acceptable, it will be here as well. I have attached it in a text format. I hope now it is better.
