Hi,
Consider:
x=c(2,4,5,10,13,73)
names(x)=c("American\nIndian",
"No\ncategory\nlisted",
"Hispanic",
"African-\nAmerican",
"Asian",
"White")
barplot(x,main="Undergraduate Enrollment by Race",
xlab="Race",
ylab="Percent",
col=rainbow(6))
The labels at the bottom of the bars are aligned at the bottom of the last
word in each bar label. How can I code it so that the labels are aligned at
the top of the first word in each bar label?
Thanks,
David.

Nice, worked very well. But because of the realignment, I now need to lower by xlab a bit. Any suggestions? David. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Aligning-labels-to-bars-in-barplot-tp4655701p4655749.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
