similar to: axis labels

Wondering if I missed anything or if that's a problem with R: I want to have many x axis tickmarks and labels such that it makes sense to put them on multiple "lines". The newline character seems to be ignored though for axis labels: plot(1:33, axes=F) axis(1, 9, 9) axis(1, 11, "\n11") axis(1) # whereas title("one\ntwo") works as I expect it to work. In

Hi, I'am trying to make a multiple bar plot over a map and I'm having difficulties with the distance between axes labels and the axis. Trying to control this with mgp does not help because it controls both axes simultaneously. For example, with default values (mgp = c(3, 1, 0)) y-axis labels are ok, but x-axis labels are not. Setting mgp = c(3, 0, 0) gives good x-axis labels but the

Hi all, I have got 2 function (see bellow) which are simplifications of what I need to do. These functions are precisely the same, except for the last line. My question is, why doesn't function testA work in the same way as function testB. Both functions produce two objects, "a" and "b" that must merged with rbind. The difference is that in testA, I specify the name

I have a graph plotted in r.The x axis tickmarks are at 0,5,10. I need a graph with resolution of tickmarks at 0.1 interval.When i place tickmarks of 0.1 intervals using the following command axis(1, at=seq(0,5,0.1), cex.axis=0.7, las=2) I only get the tickmarks of 0.1 interval that are very closed placed in the graph.I need to increase the spacing between each tickmark. Please anyone help out

hello, i can't figure out how to change the vertical position of my x axis labels.. boxplot(c(1:12)~c(rep("1",6),rep("2",6)),at=c(1,2), col=c(0,"grey"),las=1,xaxt="n") ### i put paragraphs in the x-labels because of limited horizontal space axis(1,at=c(1,2),adj=1,labels=c("Salix Scrub","Tall Forb")) ...the labels are one line

Dear R users: I have got a simple question that has been bothering me for a while. Given a certain character vector, I would like to get in a separate vector a fragment of text, in this case the 3rd and 4th letters of each element. So, if: v<- c(“stratosphere”, “mesosphere”, “troposphere”) I want to obtain a different vector like this: c(“ra”, “so”, “op”) Thanks in advance

Dear list, I have a character vector such vec.names<- c("a", "b") It happens that I have also two R objects called "a" and "b" that I would like to merge. Is it possible to do something like cbind(vec.names[1], vec.names[2]) ending up with the same result as cbind(a,b) Bellow is a reproducible example of what I need to to: dat<-

Hello, I am trying to plot two sets of boxplots together. These are estimates of two experiments and?seven?factors. The results of the two experiments I want to plot as boxplots stacked to each other. Therefore I plot first the results of the first experiment; and next with the add option the second set of boxplots. The boxplots are plotted at 'at = 1:7 - 0.15 for the first experiment and

Hi, my x-axis contains labels that consist of two lines (the actual label and below information about groupsize). Unfortunately, there is too little spacing between labels and tickmarks in this situation. Is there a parameter to tune spacing between axis and labels? Thanks, Chris

Good day all, I'm trying to plot a figure and ensure that the minimum and maximum values are always displayed. However, the code below does not display the minimum value, no matter what I try. Could someone please help? Thanking you in advance, George. Code below for reproduction (apologies if the paste is too long) >blah [1] 0.41955516 0.37330949 0.37934005 0.38013805 0.40092939

I would like to create an xyplot with varying y-axis limits and horizontal labels at the y-axis tickmarks. The following does not seem to work, although I think it should, going by the documentation for par. R version 2.5.1, Windows XP Prof. Thanks for a clue. Andreas Krause library(lattice) # axis labels for y-axis are horizontal xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width | Species, data=iris) #

I am displaying several series in one plot, and would like to make them distinct without having to employ a legend. I managed to color tickmarks, but have been unsuccessful with either one of a) making tickmarks thicker (without increasing the axis at the same time). From reading ?axis: lty, lwd: line type, width for the axis line and the tick marks. in would appear that I cannot

Dear list, I am trying to fit some mixed models using packages lme4 and nlme. I did the model selection using lmer but I suspect that I may have some autocorrelation going on in my data so I would like to have a look using the handy correlation structures available in nlme. The problem is that I cannot translate my lmer model to lme: mod1<- lmer(y~x + (1|a:b) + (1|b:c), data=mydata)

Thanks to Brian Ripley I have been using R utilities for some time for converting S-Plus UNIX nroff help files to .Rd to .html files. .Rd files seem to be the most natural format for help files and this format is probably easier to maintain than nroff, so I would like to start using .Rd files as my master documentation format if anyone has a utility for going from .Rd to nroff. I guess I could

I am trying to use wireframe at the moment and the axis labels are overlapping with the tick labels. It seems that gpar does not yet utilize the mgp argument. Is there anyway to manipulate the position of the axis labels? The best I can manage so far is to manipulate the cex so as to shrink everything down. thanks, Carlo Maley -- Dr. Carlo C.

Hi Folks! I have a question regarding an issue on which I´ve read a few threads but can´t resolve --> Labelling every other tick mark on the x-axis using factors. Here´s an example: db<-data.frame(date=as.factor(c(1:50)),var=rnorm(50)) barplot(db$var,names.arg=levels(db$date),las=2,cex.axis=0.8,cex=0.8) This labels all the tickmarks in my barplot, which is the default behavior. I would

Dear R-users first, thanks to Paul Murrell for fixing my problem "What line is labeled in persp()". It works great now (in the development version). One more question (I don't know if it's related to the "old" problem): the annotation on the z-axis overwrites the numbers at the tickmarks and sometimes, if numbers are pretty long, the numbers themselfe overlap the

Dear R-helpers, I've produced boxplots for a publication but I have a visual problem that I don't mamage to fix. For visual reasons, I reduced the line width with "lwd=0.5". It works nicely for all the lines (frame of the plot, boxes, notches and medians) exept for the axis line. Thus the two axes appear twice the width of the frame. How can I control only the width of the axis

I"m trying to do a custom sort in this order: 1) Numeric digit furthest right; 2) Alphabetical second furthest to the right; 3) Alphabetical the rest of the string beginning with the first character; The example code I'm using is an array that follows: /myArray <-

People, I am using the "las=2" parameter to rotate the labels for the X axis ticks but it means that they are almost touching the "xlab" string. I have been messing around with the "mai" paremeter but that doesn't help - is there some way of increasing the space between xlab and the X axis tick labels?
