Hello:
What is the most efficient way to change the plotted variable names in mosaic
plots in the vcd package? Should one do a separate contingency table first,
change the dimension names there and then pass that to mosaic?
Or is there a way to do it simply within mosaic.
I was thinking something like:
mosaic(~var1+var2, labelling_args=list(varnames=c('newvar1',
'newvar2'))

The default labeling function is labeling_border which does take a varnames argument but this should be logical (should labels be drawn or not?). The argument set_varnames can be used to set the varnames to different strings, e.g., mosaic(~ Gender + Admit, data = UCBAdmissions, labeling_args = list(set_varnames = list(Gender = "Foo", Admit = "Bar"))) I hope this is what you're looking for.
