similar to: working with groups of labels?

Hi all, I have written a note near each of my graphs using mtext. mtext(text,side=1,line=4,cex=0.5,adj=0) Then I have exported the graphs as a PDF file. pdf(file=name,paper='a4',width=7.27,height=10.69) The mtext appears OK in R. But it looks like it is bolded in the PDF file. http://n4.nabble.com/file/n2016971/graph.png I am not sure if this is actually my monitor/computer's

Hello, I have a barplot where each row has quite long texts and I have used "par" to make some room in the left: par(mar=c(0, 17, 3, 0), oma=c(0, 0, 0, 0)) barplot2(prueba, main = l, col=colores, horiz=TRUE,las=1, cex.names=.7) My problem is that main text appears justified to the plot. I want to put it in the middle of the image, and find a way to sort it out with mtex par(mar=c(0,

What I want to do is create a horizontal bar chart matrix for a set of data that have a common set of variables (e.g., % of As, % of Bs, etc.) listed on the Y-axis and groups (e.g., Classes) on the X-axis. The key here is that the bars for each individual class plot are "centered" rather than left or right-justified. In archaeology plots similar to this are called battleship curves or

I want to right-justify a vector of numbers in the right margin of a low-level plot. For this I need to compute the line parameter to give to mtext. Is this the correct scalable calculation? par(mar=c(4,3,1,5)); plot(1:20) s <- 'abcde'; w=strwidth(s, units='inches')/par('cin')[1] mtext(s, side=4, las=1, at=5, adj=1, line=w-.5, cex=1) mtext(s, side=4, las=1, at=7,

Hi, I am trying to make my axis labels left justified, and have used adj=0 in the axis() without success. Can anyone have a suggestion? axis(2,at=1:50,labels=paste('a',1:50,sep=''),las=2,cex.axis=0.5,adj=0,tck=0,mgp=c(3,0.5,0)) Thanks

Dear R users, using dotplot (R1.2.0, WinNT4.0), I am trying to change the character size of the labels of the points: > # example > data(VADeaths) > dotplot(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940") > # I'd like to have smaller character size of the labels (for age and population groups) > ?dotplot > # for argument "cex", this says:

In the attached plot, how do I move just the X-label(Time) to the right. Basically, I just want to do a par ( adj = 1) on just the X-label, not all my labels. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

I have a simple barplot that looks fine in the R graphics device window. However when I export it to png I am losing the x-label. It must be an obvious problem but I cannot see it. Trying to resize the plot does not seem to help. Code is below. Any help gratefully received. ###### Start Code############ Groups <-c(21.8,45, 43, 17.2, 8.3, 18) names(Groups) <- c("Exeter",

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

Hello all. I have a simple barplot with sixteen different segments. When I plot my data, only five or six of the labels are showing in the x-axis. How do go get them all to show? Can I set them at a 45.degree angle? Thank you.

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.

Hello everyone I have problem with axis labels on graphs, I have my code as below: plot(0,0,xlim=c(1,ncol(PA)),ylim=c(1,nrow(PA)),main="Stratigraphic Range",xlab="Time Bins",ylab="Taxa",cex.axis=1.5,cex.lab=2,cex.main=2.5,mgp=c(5,1.5,0),xaxt="n") text(1:(length(strat_name)), y= 0, adj=1, srt=45,labels=strat_name,xpd=TRUE, cex=1) #adds text to x

Dear R-users, the problem I'm facing today is to write a multicolor main title in a plot. I would like to have 3/4 colors to help people in the audience to visually realize what is what in a 4x2 plot array On top of each plot I would like to have two lines. The 1st line will indicate what is plotted The 2nd line will indicate a a reference Graphically speaking I would like a result similar

Dear R-helpers, I have trouble aligning an expression with a subscript, and text, in margin text: par(mar=c(6,6,1,1)) b <- barplot(1:3) mtext(c("A","B","C"), at=b, side=1, line=1, cex=1.3) mtext(expression(italic(C)[a]~(more~text)), at=0, line=1, side=1,cex=1.3) As explained in the help files and elsewhere, I understand that the expression is aligned by the

Hi guys, I am trying to shift down the "ylab" of my plot but can't find how to do it. I tried to tune "mar" but it enable more room for the labels to be displayed but it does not move to "ylab" as I would like. Is there a way with "par" to shift down my "ylab" ??

Hi, I have a problem with aligning text which I'm adding to a plot using "mtext". I would like to specify the position of the right hand end of the text string, relative to the device (in the left-right direction). I've been looking at the use of the argument "adj". But this can't be used to specify the rightmost point of the text. Neither does it specify exactly

Colleagues, I am trying to create a PDF document in which I use margin text with two different fonts. The resulting text might be: XXXXXyZZZ where X and Z are one font and Y is the other. My plan was to do this in the following manner: mtext("XXXXX ZZZ", cex=2, adj=0.5, family=SOMEFONT) mtext("Y", cex=2, adj=??, family=DIFFERENTFONT) My question regards how to calculate

Not sure if I already reported this ... it seems that as of 0.50.a2, the adj graphics parameter is completely ignored. Try e.g. plot(1:10) title(main = "This is a title", adj = 0) title(main = "This is a title", adj = 1) No difference ... -k =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- r-devel mailing list -- Read

Dear R-help team I have tried hard to turn my Y axis 90 degrees, so that it is written horizontally, and placing it above the Y axis, but I did not succeed. I have tried to adapt the following functions: - plot() - title() - mtext() And some more that did not prove to be useful (e.g. text() etc). The closest I got to my aim was with mtext(): mtext("Yield

I am trying to adjust the sigma symbol down in the y direction with the following command but R recycles the sigma and puts another at -0.1 in the x axis.
