[R] plot + axis: Individually moving tick labels with hadj?
Dear all,
consider the following plot:
plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n")
axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,expression(3==beta[foooooo]),4,5))
the label at 3 is not nice, so consider this
plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n")
axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,expression(3==beta[foooooo]),4,5),
padj=c(0,0,0.18,0,0))
Now I tried to move the label horizontally so that the equality sign is
vertically aligned with the tick. Since hadj moves all labels, I tried:
plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n")
axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,expression(3==beta[foooooo]),4,5),
hadj=c(0,0,0.22,0,0), padj=c(0,0,0.18,0,0))
Why is it not possible to individually move the labels horizontally?
Simply moving all of them does not look very good...
plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n")
axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,expression(3==beta[foooooo]),4,5),
hadj=0.22, padj=c(0,0,0.18,0,0))
Cheers,
Marius

Hi Marius, I actually prefer the first (default) arrangement, with the labels centered, but if you want to align the equals under the tick mark one option is to use axis() twice: plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n") axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,"",4,5)) axis(1, at=3.15, tick=FALSE, labels=expression(3==beta[foooooo])) Sarah On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 7:02 AM, Marius Hofert <m_hofert at web.de> wrote:> Dear all, > > consider the following plot: > > plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n") > axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,expression(3==beta[foooooo]),4,5)) > > the label at 3 is not nice, so consider this > plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n") > axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,expression(3==beta[foooooo]),4,5), > ? ? padj=c(0,0,0.18,0,0)) > > Now I tried to move the label horizontally so that the equality sign is > vertically aligned with the tick.
