[R] adjust space between horizontal legend text in a barplot
Hi All, I produced a barplot and made a horizontal legend below the graph. Because the results are from a survey, there are three levels, namely strongly disagree/disagree, neutral and strongly agree/agree.> rownames(survey)[1] "Strongly disagree/disagree" "Neutral" "Strongly agree/agree"As in the output above, there is a large space between "Neutral" and "Strongly agree/agree". This large space appears in the horizontal legend as well. So is there anyway I can reduce such a large gap in the legend when it is superimposed horizontally? Thanks and Regards Fred [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Hi,
Try this.
? plot(0)
? legend("topright", inset=c(0.2,0),legend=c("Strongly
disagree/disagree","Neutral","Strongly agree/agree"),
lty=1:3, pch=1:3, x.intersp=2)
A.K.

Hi All,
I produced a barplot and made a horizontal legend below the graph.
Because the results are from a survey, there are three levels, namely
strongly disagree/disagree, neutral and strongly agree/agree.
> rownames(survey)[1] "Strongly disagree/disagree"
"Neutral"? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "Strongly agree/agree"
As in the output above, there is a large space between "Neutral" and
"Strongly agree/agree".
This large space appears in the horizontal legend as well.
So is there anyway I can reduce such a large gap in the legend when it
is superimposed horizontally?
Thanks and Regards
Fred
