Dear All,
I am trying to add some text annotation to a graph using matplot() as
follows:
vars <- c("v1", "v2", "v3", "v4",
"v5", "v6", "v7", "v8", "v8",
"v10")
id <- seq(5.000, 0.001, by = -0.001)
sid <- c(4.997, 3.901, 2.339, 0.176, 0.151, 0.101, 0.076, 0.051, 0.026,
0.001)
rn <- sample(seq(0, 0.6, by = 0.001), 5000, replace = T)
matplot(rbind(rn, rep(0, length(rn))), rbind(id, id), xlim = c(0, 1),
type = "l", lty = 1, lwd = 1, col = 1, xlab = "",
ylab = "", axes = F)
abline(v = 0, lty = 2)
axis(1)
mtext(side = 2, text = c(vars), at = sid, las = 2, line = 0.8)
axis(3)
But the text annotation can not be displayed correctly, i.e., some of them
stick together.
Can anybody help me with this particular problem? Thanks in advance.
Lisa

Thanks you for your reply. I consider only the performance of ?vars? (v1 to v10), so I just want to indicate then on the y-axis at the point they should be located.

Look at the spread.labs function in the TeachingDemos package, it may do what you want (see the examples). -- Gregory (Greg) L.
