I am making a barplot using barplot2 from gplots and would like to format the names of my categorical variables (tree species) on the x- axis so that the genus name is above the species name (to save room). My code so far is: speciesnames<-c("Dialium guianensis", "Inga alba", "Tachigali versicolor", "Brosimum utile", "Caryocar costaricense", "Castilla tunu", "Otoba novagranatensis", "Pourouma bicolor", "Socratea exorrhiza") barplot2(meanapAprilactivity, names.arg=s...

I am trying to tweak how my categorical x-axis labels are formatted in my bar graph. Specifically, I would like to a) decrease the spacing between lines (e.g. spacing between Dialium and guianensis) b) right justify the text and c) have each species name align with the center of the corresponding bar graph. A simplified version of my code thus far is as follows. I am using RStudio v. .94.84 install.packages('gplots') library(gplots) x<-rnorm(9, mean=600, sd=300) speciesna...

...d the labels 45 degrees to save room. This is my code: >columncolor<-c("grey20", "grey20", "grey20", "grey70", "grey70", "grey70", "grey70", "grey70", "grey70") >speciesnames<-c("Dialium\nguianensis", "Inga\nalba", "Tachigali \nversicolor", "Brosimum\nutile", "Caryocar\ncostaricense", "Castilla \ntunu", "Otoba\nnovagranatensis", "Pourouma\nbicolor", "Socratea \nexorrhiza") >barplot2(meanapAprilactivity...
