...from help: In a layout with exactly two rows and columns the base value of ?"cex"? is reduced by a factor of 0.83: if there are three or more of either rows or columns, the reduction factor is 0.66). I generate a multipage PDF in which mfrow varies such that cex is impacted. This affect mtext in the outer margin. Sample code is pasted at the bottom of this email. The impact is most obvious if one examines the text at the bottom of each page as one moves page-to-page. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to overcome this (other than using brute force).

For R Version 1.1.1 and R-devel (Linux)... Sorry, there's no time to fix myself now {e.g., after starting a new device} : par(las=3); plot(1:10); par(las=1) ; mtext("mtext") Gives a left-adjusted (as for adj = 0) mtext, even if par("adj") is still 0.5 Note that I'm also not convinced that mtext() should follow par("las") as it does in the following {2nd bug ?} : par(las=3); plot(1:10); mtext("mtext") Ma...

Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to change the text direction of mtext? I'd like to use 'mtext(side=2)' but the text should be 'left-to-right'. I couldn't find an argument for that in the help files. Thanks for any suggestions Tobias -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/changing-text-direction-of-mtext-tf4321931.html#a1230...

Dear all, Our quite basic function mtext() does wrong adjustments in some parameter configurations. This gets obvious when using multi line texts: There is no way to properly adjust text perpendicular to axis 2, for example.

Hi, I am using mtext instead of the ylab argument in some plots because i want to move it away from the numbers in the axis. However, the text in the X axis, for example: par(mar=c(5, 5.5, 4, 2)); plot(data, main="plot name", xlab= 'X axis', ylab="", font=2, cex.lab=1.5, f...

<> Hello One sometimes (quite often really ) marvel at the choice of defaults in R's graphic engine. For some obscure reason, mtext uses the typographical descender (bottom of letters) to align text. That is: "gG" will end up slightly higher that "GG". Depending on the font, "Q" might end up higher than "O". (for explanation of baseline & descender see: http://www.paratype.com/he...

I seem to remember this coming up before, but I can't find it any messages I've saved or in the archives (searching by subject). I want to rotate mtext so that it's perpendicular to the right side. I tried srt=90 and lots of other values, but it seems to be ignored. Is there a way to do this? ______________________________________________________________________ Stuart Luppescu -=-=- University of Chicago $(B:MJ8$HCRF`H~$NIc(B...

using R 1.2.1 under LinuxPPC, using the default X11 graphics device, i can't get the cex= argument for plot() and title() to have any effect. works for text(), though. the text size for plot() and title() _is_ correct if par(cex=size) is called first. oddly, mtext() seems to pay attention to cex=, but to ignore the value set by par(). for example, > plot(1:5, 1:5, main="Main", cex=2) # plots title/labels in std size > mtext("mtext", side=1, at=1.5, line=1, cex=2) # large text here > > par(cex=2) > plot(1:5, 1:5, main=&qu...

I have a simple graph (oode below) which looks fine on the screen but when I save it in png format the title (actually the last mtext line) is cut off. I am pretty sure that I am doing something very stupid but other than playing around with the png height and width commands which don't seem to help I have no idea of what to look for. Any suggestions or cures would be appreciated. Thanks #=================================...

Hi all, I have read through the archives, but can't find a solution to this problem. I need the text direction on "dependent B", plotted in margin 4, to go top to bottom (opposite what it is now).

Hi, I'm interested in using mtext(), but with the option of having multiple colors in the same line of text. For example, creating a line of text where: Red is red and blue is blue How do you create a text argument that lets you do this within mtext()?
