Hi how can print x-axis labels in 45 degree in boxplot() (or plot in general)? I can use las=2 to print in 90 degree, but it looks ugly. Is there a simple option to do 45 degree easily? Thanks John

I searched the forms (i.e., R Search)?and come up with the following suggested link: ?http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f I tried to implement what I believe was being implied by that URL and came up with the below: barplot(WorldPhones[1,], ??????? ylim=c(0, 50000), ??????? axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE, ??????? col=terrain.colors(length(WorldPhones[1,])), ??????? xaxt = "n",? xlab = "") text(1:dim(W...

Hi, while searching for a solution i found many solutions in the internet. But the postings seemed to be many years old and the workaround was a dirty hack like this: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f Now its the year 2009 and there might have been some improvement... Does anyone know a nice and easy way to turn labels on the y axis in the same direction as the x labels? Thank you very much for reading and hints, -- Jonas Stein <news at jonasstein.de>

...matting problem. I would like to rotate the x-axis labels by 45 degrees on a _barplot_. Apparently this is slightly different from the example given in the R FAQ, which is for rotating the x-axis labels on a scatterplot (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f). I have adapted that code, as best I could, and here is what I have come up with so far: x <- c(4, 1, 1, 1) barplot(x, space = 0) #the "space = 0" argument, above, just reflects my personal preference for having no space between the bars text(1:4, par("usr")[3] - 0.025...

Hello dear R help group, I learned recently that one can change the rotation of labels in the axis, when using a lattice plot, for example: library(lattice) barchart(yield ~ variety , data = barley, groups = year, ylab = "Barley Yield (bushels/acre)", scales = list(rot = 45)) My question is: Is there an application of "rot" in something like

How can i set a rotation for the names.arg in barplot?

Dear Help I'm new to R (from matlab)...using windows XP. I've tried to work out, to no avail, 4 things: 1) rotating the numbers on axes...something to do with par(str) ?? 2) how to close a window having opened one e.g. windows(7,7) 3) how to manipulate the key (e.g. dots, lines etc) on the legend. Using pch just gives me the same key for all functions on a plot. i.e. legend

Hello list. Is it possible to use par(srt=45) to rotate text by 45 degrees along the x-axis of a plot. Using: <code> x_names<-c("C57 Nv", "C57 Vacc", "129 Nv", "129 Vacc", "IFNgR Nv", "IFNgR Vacc") par(srt=45) mtext(font=2, x_names, side=1, line=1, at=l, cex=1.2) par(srt=0) </code> doesn't seem to work in R 2.2.0

I'd like to rotate x-axis labels to get a diagonal orientation (rather than horizontal or vertical), this would result in an easier read, any ideas? thanks, Gitta

Dear experts, Is there a way to change the angle in which the axes are labeled? I would like to draw a barplot where items are countries and, in order to fit the country?s names in, tilt these names about 45?. Is this possible? I cannot find any examples in the docs. Thanks for your help!!! Christoph

Hello there, I would like to plot a graph with the x axis's label displayed at a 45 angle to the x axis instead of horizontal to it as the label is very long. What should I do? Thank you for your help in advance Lisa Wang Princess Margaret Hospital Toronto, Ca

Hi, I'm trying to do a box-whisker plot of two columns of a data frame, a list of category names in one column vs. some numerical values in the other. The plot itself works fine, but only a few points of the x-axis ( the category names ) are labelled. I think that this is because the category names are too long. Is there any way to force R to label each x-axis value, preferably at a

http://www.nabble.com/file/p14664173/at-modality.png I created the above image with R and I have one problem left: Some of the labels of the axes do not show up, probably because there's not enough space. I use the following code to create the plot: modality <- read.table("results.table", header=TRUE, sep=",") color <-

Hello! I have two question that rose from trying to tacle the same problem in two differnet ways. What I want to do is to plot axes (only values or labels, no tick marks) in such a way that 'cex' can be very small, text can be perpendicular to the axis (as in axis(las=2) ) and the text is stil at the right position. Let me demonstrate with a small example:
