similar to: plot error -- figure margins too large

Hi all, Quick question: What function can I use to draw a line in the margin of a plot? segments() and lines() both stop at the margin. In case the answer depends on exactly what I'm trying to do, see below. I'm using R v. 2.8.1 on Windows XP. Cheers, Alan I'm trying to make a horizontal barplot with a column of numbers on the right side. I'd like to put a line between the

First of all, I apologize for the triple post, but I did not see that the word wrap on the r-help list site would render my code unusable. So here it is again. Hoping that this time it will work if you cut and paste it in your Rgui. I have a program that works well in Rgui but that does not work in a batch file (Execution halted). Here's the code (it will work on your R, but you need

Hello, I have a program that works well in Rgui but that does not work in a batch file (Execution halted) Here's the code (it will work on you side, but you need internet access through R as it will download a table from a US gov site) download.file("http://www.cftc.gov/files/dea/history/deacot2005.zip", "c:/deacot2005.zip", "internal", quiet = FALSE, mode =

Hi there, I'm trying to get some text in the outer margins of my plots and am having trouble - the margin text is overlapping my plots, even though the outer margin I'm trying to put it in is very big. I've simplified my problem down to this: ------------------------- X11(width=7.5,height=10) par(mfrow=c(6,1),oma=c(20,0,20,0), mar=c(0,3.1,1,2.1)) for (i in 1:6) {

Hi, I would like to have four plots plotted in the one figure and under each plot the caption (a) ... (d). Using mtext I can get so far: > plot(1:10, exp(1:10), log = "y", xlab = "xlab") > mtext("(a)",side=1,line=4.5) > plot(1:10, exp(1:10), log = "y", xlab = "xlab") > mtext("(b)",side=1,line=4.5) > plot(1:10,

Hi R-users, I inted to make multiple plots using for loop. The question is how can I adjust the left hand side margin of the plot according to the names.arg argument in barplot2. In every plot I have different annotations in the y axis and they vary in length. Now when I have fixed margins opar <- par(mar=c(3,15,0,2)... I get the same margins in all of the plots. That leaves lots of white

Hey Felix, So basically what you want is a figure containing a block of four plots, with a main title for the figure? If that's the case then something like this should work: # BEGIN CODE # par(oma=c(0,0,1,0), mfrow=c(2,2)) for(i in 1:4){ plot(NA,xlim=range(0,10),ylim=range(-5,5)) title(paste("Plot ",i,sep="")) } par(mfrow=c(1,1), oma=c(0,0,1,0)) mtext("Main

Dear all, I have a 3x2 plot and in addition to the title of the individual plots I would like to have an overall title for each row. I managed to get an overall title for the whole plot matrix with mtext: par(mfrow=(c(3,2)), mar=c(6.4,4.5,4.2, 1.8), oma=c(0,0,3,0)) for (i in 1:6) barplot(sample(1:10,5), main=paste("Plot #",i)) mtext("Overall Title Row 1", outer=TRUE) but I

Hi all, I have a basic question concerning graphs in R. I?m using the par() function and I?m working with multiple figures by row (mfrow) but my the hight of my figures become compressed. I have 4 rows and 2 columns (because I want to plot 8 histograms (freq = FALSE ) on it. I know I can adapt my margins with for example ?oma? and ?mai? but I don?t know how to choose the size of the figure? I

Hello, was could be the reason for such an error message??? I'd like to create a window with 10x6 barplot and save it as pdf. I tried: pdf("histogram.pdf",width=7, height=7) windows(cols, rows) par(mfcol = c(rows,cols)) sapply(mat, calcHist) dev.off() Within the method of sapply, I call barplot What is wrong??? Antje

Hi, I created several figures and their titles should appear like this: Figure 1: Monte Carlo results for alternative estimators of structural parameters (N = 100, T = 5) Because N and T change across figures, my code includes the following lines: N.set <- 100 T.set <- 5 mtext(“Figure 1: Monte Carlo results for alternative estimators of structural

Hello All, I am drawing a graph having 18 small graphs inside using par(mfrow = c(6,3)) command. My problem is how to specify the margins of the whole 18 graphs. I used par(mar=c(6.5, 6.5, 1.5, 1.5)) for each graph separately already but it does not left any margins for the 'mtext()' for the margins of the whole 18 graphs. Any comments please. Thanks, MJK [[alternative HTML version

Hi, I am having problem to display text that goes start inside the plot but should go over the margins of the plot. You can have an example of what I mean by looking at the graphs on this page:

Dear R-list members, I am trying to put a legend just outside the plotting area of a graph. 1. Is there some way to plot symbols on the figure margin, in the same way as function "mtext" can write on the margin? 2. Is there some way to use the "legend" function (or some equivalent function) to plot a legend on the figure margin? 3. Any other way to plot either symbols or a

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). Here's some sample code: #plot with mtext example par(mgp = c(2,1,0), mfrow=c(2,2), las=1, mar=c(2,2,2,2), omi= c(0.5,0.2,0,0.2)) a<-1:10 b<-7:16 c<-21:30 plot(a~b,

Hello, I have tried to change the margin widths so that mtext (here "sd of consecutive pc intervals", look at the picture) and plot(...,xlab="bar") fits to the picture. Here is an example: http://users.utu.fi/attenka/margins.png This doesn't help: par(mar=c(5.1, 7.1, 4.1, 2.1)) And here are the commands: png(filename="/Users/kone/Vaitostutkimus/Pictures/

Hi all, Please, while using image() which is the graphical parameter which control the space between ylab and the y axis? I do need to write a number of relatively long y labels and I am not able the control, if possible, this space.

Readers, I tried to the following commands: plot(y~x,ylab=expression(A[1]~B[2],xlab=expression(C~D)) mtext(expression(A[1]~B[2]),"additional text",side=3,line=1) I receive the text that I want, but the command terminal shows the following response: Warning message: NAs introduced by coercion in: mtext(expression(A[1]~B[2]),"additional text", side = 3, What is my mistake

Hello, everybody: I'm back to share a long piece of example code. Because I had trouble understanding the role of par() and margins when customizing barplots, I have struggled with this example. In case you are a student wanting to place legends or textual markers in the outer regions of a barplot, you might run these examples. There are a few little things I don't quite understand.
