You may want to use the function corner.label from the plotrix-package.

Greetings! I would like to be able to specify a fixed (say) lower limit for plotting, while leaving the upper limit "floating, when plotting. The context is that the maximum in the data to be plotted is unpredictable, being the consequence of a simulation, whereas I know that it cannot be less than (say) 0; and I want to fix the lower limit at 0 in any plot, leaving the upper limit to be

Dear plotting wizards, when plotting in R, the actual lengths of the axes are slightly greater than the ranges of the x/y variables or xlim/ylim values. how do I control the amount by which the axes are enlarged? Is there a way to enforce that the lengths of the axes equal xlim/ylim? example: plot(0:100,0:100,pch="+") it can be observed, that the x- and y-axis join at approx.

sorry to impose again. At the default point size, R seems very good in selecting nice xlim/ylim parameters, and leaving a little bit of space at the edges of its xlim/ylim. alas, I now need to create ps graphics that can only occupy a quarter of a page, so I need to blow up the text for readability. Easy, I thought: make ps.options(pointsize=24). Alas, this turns out to be trickier than

Hi list, I have a function which basically is a wrapper of pairs with some useful panel functions. However, I'm having trouble to pass the "xlim" and "ylim" into the function so the x and y axes are in the same scale and 45 degree lines are exactly diagonal. I've looked at some old posts, they didn't help much. I think this is b/c I have multiple panel

I'm running windows xp, R 2.3.1 with maptools 0.6-6, I guess. When plotting from a large SpatialLinesDataFrame and using xlim & ylim to reduce the area, the plot axes automatically have the same scale size, even if xlim and ylim ranges differ. E.g.: tmp <- readShapeLines(filepath) plot(tmp,xlim=c(-126,-119),ylim=c(50,51)) The y-axis range is actually 47-54, same range as the x-axis.

list(...), I would like to zoom in to the leaves of large trees in a dendrogram plot. The playwith package allows zooming by passing xlim and ylim arguments to the plot call (Hmisc does this too I think). But currently stats:::plot.dendrogram does not accept xlim or ylim. So I would like to enable that. In place of the existing code chunk: xlim <- c(x1 - 1/2, x2 + 1/2) ylim <- c(0,

Hello, I have found that in smoothScatter it is not possible to reverse the axes plotted (R version 2.9.0) .   It appears that this arises from the hard coding of xlim and ylim in smoothscatter.R in the lines : x <- x[ xlim[1] <= x[,1] & x[,1] <=xlim[2], ]   (line  number 25) and x <- x[ ylim[1] <= x[,2] & x[,2] <= ylim[2], ]  (line number 31) This results in a x

Hi: Is there a way to get smoothScatter to not clip when I increase the xlim and ylim parameters? Consider the following example: set.seed(17) x1<-rnorm(100) x2<-rnorm(100) smoothScatter(x1,x2) #Now if I increase xlim and ylim notice that the plot seems to be clipped at the former xlim, and ylim boundaries: smoothScatter(x1,x2, xlim=c(-5,5), ylim=c(-5,5)) Thanks.

Dear friends, The user coordiante system in the R graphics is easy to understand as it simply corresponds to the range of values on the axes of the plot. However, sometimes, we want to kown the coordinates of a region in other system, e.g., the normal coordinate system whose origin is the the upper-left cornner of the drawing area which is used to set the hot regions in the HTML image maps.

In plot(), when using option asp=1 the xlim and ylim have no effect because they are changed changed in order to fill the whole plot region. Is there a way to automatically set xlim and ylim when asp has been set to 1? For example: #This is a box of the plot ranges I want: boxxy=rbind(c(-1,2),c(-1,-1),c(1,-1),c(1,2),c(-1,2)) #Without asp=1 I get what I want (i.e. I can't see the box because it

I'd like to make a plot with the axes drawn at the values of xlim and ylim. The default plot draws the axes slightly outside these values. I have been experimenting with the par(mgp) setting, but specifying par(mgp=c(2,0,-1)) gives me "invalid value specified for graphics parameter "mgp".". A more complicated mathod that almost seems to work is doing the plot with

Hi, I have the following problem. I wanted to get a matrix of scatterplots and I used pairs. I wanted to add the line y=x in each plot and I created a panel function for this scope. I used points and abline in the following way: ## put y=x in each plot panel.lin<- function(x, y) { points(x,y, pch=21, bg=par("bg"), col = "black",cex=2)

symbols(iris[,1],iris[,2],rectangles=as.matrix(iris[,3:4]),inches=0.3, ylim=c(1,5)) Error in plot.default(NA, NA, type = "n", ylim = ylim, xlim = xlim, xlab = xlab, : formal argument "ylim" matched by multiple actual arguments Since plot is called inside symbols, with specified xlim and ylim, any specification through ,... hurts this call. I am pretty sure that you

Dear R-gurus, I would like to zoom in a plot, e.g. I select a region on the x-axis and then I would like the ranges on the y-axis to change accordingly. Is it possible to do this with existing functions, or do I have to invent some data selection before plotting? See below a short example, where I select ylim with trial and error, which I want to avoid. Cheers, Henrik Andersson

Hello everyone, I am (happily) using ggplot2 for all my plotting now and I wondered is there is an easy way to specify xlim and ylim somewhere when using the ggplot syntax, as opposed to the qplot syntax. Eg. qplot(data=mtcars,y=wt, x=qsec,xlim=c(0,30)) <-> ggplot(mtcars, aes(y=wt, x=qsec)) + geom_point() + ??? Indeed the ggplot syntax is in general more flexible and powerful and

Dear mailing list readers! Using R and the plot function I stumbled over this little issue: plot(x=NULL, y=NULL, xlim=range(1:10), ylim=range(1e-9:1), log="y") produces an plot empty plot, where the y-axis is in the specified range. Changing ylim to ylim=range(1e-9:1e-3) creates an y-axis in the range of 1e-12 to 1e-6. This appearance of the y-axis is a

Hi, all. The lower bound in a barplot (or the left bound if you're making a horizontal barplot) is -0.01 no matter what. This causes problems if you're making a barplot of small values (say, < .001), as most of the plot is taken up with blank space beneath the axis, and the bars are squeezed in at the top. The fix seems to be simple: replace lines 41: xlim <- range(-0.01,

Dear List-mates, I have been trying to set up a 4x8 trellis plot (that is, 4 columns, 8 rows), and would like to have the axis limits set based on the data range of rows (for ylim) and columns (for xlim). I've been using the call: foo<-xyplot(y~x|Epoch+Subject, type=c("l","r"), par.strip.text=list(cex=0.5), ...) and updating to see different effects of scale

I'm looking for an R mentor. I want to propose a change in management of plot options xlim and ylim. Did you ever want to change one coordinate in xlim or ylim? It happens to me all the time. x <- rnorm(100, m=5, s=1) y <- rnorm(100, m=6, s=1) plot(x,y) ## Oh, I want the "y axis" to show above x=0. plot(x,y, xlim=c(0, )) ##Output: Error in c(0, ) : argument 2 is empty
