Hi Carol, If you are using the "barlabels" function in the plotrix package, just add the usual "cex" argument to the call. Using the first example in the help page: heights<-c(14,20,9,31,17) barpos<-barplot(heights,main="A redundant bar plot") barlabels(barpos,heights+1,prop=1,cex=1.5) Jim On Tue, Jul 21, 2015 at 7:23 AM, Rolf Turner <r.turner at auckland.ac.nz> wrote:> On 21/07/15 08:24, carol white via R-help wrote: >> >> Hi,How is it possible to increase the size of a histogram labels >> (displayed on the top of the bars)?

Hi,I use hist.
If I usehist.result = hist(c(14,20,9,31,17), plot = F)plot(hist.result, labels =
T, cex = 2)
#doesn't increase the font size of all text on the plot: axis annotation,
axis labels, count labels on top of the bars
plot(hist.result, labels = T, cex.axis = 2, cex.label = 2, cex.main = 2)
# how to increase the size of count labels that are displayed on the top of the
bars by labels = T?
Regards,

Hi Carol, You can use "hist" to get the counts in each interval, but try "barplot" to get the larger bar labels: barpos<-barplot(hist.result$counts,space=0) barlabels(barpos,hist.result$counts+0.1,hist.result$counts, prop=1,border=NA,cex=2) axis(1,at=1:6-0.5,labels=paste(hist.result$breaks[1:6], hist.result$breaks[2:7],sep="-")) You can't just send any old argument to any old function. At best you get an error message, often you just get nonsense.
