search for: emptyspace

At one point I believe I heard of an R package that would automatically find the most empty space in a plot, and then that answer could then be used to intelligently place a legend. I would like to try to apply that R package to the contrived example shown below, so thank you for any hints or tips that can be provided. x = seq(0, 1000, by = 1) y1_vals<-rnorm(1000, mean = 0, sd = 50)

Hello, does anybody know which command to consider when I'm trying to plot a stacked barplot with a legend at the most empty portion of the graphic? I've searched for it, and somebody stated to use the labcurve-command, but I don't know how to produce stacked barplots with it. Is there any possibility to plot a legend box "dynamically" (= in an empty region) with the

Dear R-Users, I am looking for a way to get legends placed automagically in an empty spot on a graph. Additional complication comes through my useage of multiple graphs on the same plot through mfrow. Is there a way to achieve this in R ? I have legends for each of the sub-plots. Many thanks in advance, Tolga Generally, this communication is for informational purposes only and it is not

Hi everybody, I want to write some text in a plot. That's simple I know. But I want to make use of different colors. Eg. text(x,y,paste("Sunderland","high")). Then Sunderland should be black and "high" red. Has anyone an idea? By the way. I'm looking for a function or something similar, that can check whether there is text in some regions on the plot.

Hi, all: Is there an automatic smart legend for R? Since my R code is running in a row, which will produce a bunch of R plots in a single run, some of the produced plots are really "ridiculous". Because my legend is fixed to "topleft", sometimes, which occludes the key parts of the figure/plots, but most of the time, the legend works just fine. I'm wondering is there a

Hi! I have a bunch of (mainly class) R scripts that I would like to convert into html pages (although if someone thinks that what I want to do is easier with latex or pdf, please tell me). Considering the format of my files, htmlize() seems the best option. The only problem is that I would need to write graphics to a file, thus converting parts like: plot(sel$hora, sel$COD_SP_C) #and check the

Hello, I am just starting out using R on my Uni course. I have been given a function to work with that adds error bars to a bar chart. I want to add a legend and have been trying to amend the code in the function error.bars (see below) so it automatically places a legend on the chart. It does this, but the legend is sitting over the top of one of my data columns. I need the function to decide

For an application in image processing -- using R for statistical purposes -- I need to solve the following task: Given n (e.g. n = 100 or 200) points in the unit square, more or less randomly distributed. Find a rectangle of maximal area within the square that does not contain any of these points in its interior. If a, b are height and width of the rectangel, other constraints may have to be

Hi R Users! Thanks in advance. I am using R-2.5.1 on Windows XP. I am trying to do a stacked bar plot, but could not get through the following problem. The code is given below. 1. How can I provide 15 different colors for each method with 15 Rows? 2. How can I put the legend in a particular position (eg., in the top or bottom or right or left)? How can I put legend using a number

I am creating a CDF plot function more user-friendly than any default r function. Depending upon the bimodality of the data (it is often bimodal), or any other strange data trends, the points can end up gathering in just about any corner of the plot. So, when I add a legend, whether I choose to add it in the bottom right, top left, or wherever, it will sometimes end up putting the legend right
