Hey, I hope someone is able to help. I've created a graph using kiteChart (in the plotrix package) but need to know how to perform some basic text alterations to the graph. I would like to re-orientate the text on the y-axis from vertical to horizontal. I understand that the argument normally for this is las=1. However, this does not seem to work. Perhaps kitechart uses an alternative argument? I also need to re-size the text on both axes. I've used both cex and cex.axis but again nothing seems to be working. However, I can get the axes labels to change size using cex.lab, but just not the numbers on the tick marks. Its a bit frustrating!!!

Its a bit frustrating!!! >Hi antqueen, Try this before calling kiteChart: par(las=1,cex.axis=1.2) Seems to work for me with the examples on the help page. Jim
excellent it worked, thanks so much Jim. I am new to R so still need time to get used to the commands! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-kiteChart-plotrix-arguments-tp3820688p3821729.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
