similar to: x-axis label print in 45 degree

Hello there, I would like to plot a graph with the x axis's label displayed at a 45 angle to the x axis instead of horizontal to it as the label is very long. What should I do? Thank you for your help in advance Lisa Wang Princess Margaret Hospital Toronto, Ca

Hi, I'm trying to do a box-whisker plot of two columns of a data frame, a list of category names in one column vs. some numerical values in the other. The plot itself works fine, but only a few points of the x-axis ( the category names ) are labelled. I think that this is because the category names are too long. Is there any way to force R to label each x-axis value, preferably at a

Hello list. Is it possible to use par(srt=45) to rotate text by 45 degrees along the x-axis of a plot. Using: <code> x_names<-c("C57 Nv", "C57 Vacc", "129 Nv", "129 Vacc", "IFNgR Nv", "IFNgR Vacc") par(srt=45) mtext(font=2, x_names, side=1, line=1, at=l, cex=1.2) par(srt=0) </code> doesn't seem to work in R 2.2.0

Hello dear R help group, I learned recently that one can change the rotation of labels in the axis, when using a lattice plot, for example: library(lattice) barchart(yield ~ variety , data = barley, groups = year, ylab = "Barley Yield (bushels/acre)", scales = list(rot = 45)) My question is: Is there an application of "rot" in something like

How can i set a rotation for the names.arg in barplot?

Full_Name: Bob O'Hara Version: 2.6.0 OS: Windows XP Submission from: (NULL) (88.112.20.250) Using horizontal=TRUE with boxplot() confuses it as to what is an x- or y-axis. At least, xlim= and ylim= are the wrong way round, log="x" (or "y") and xaxt= work as expected, I haven't looked at anything else. Some code to see if you can reproduce the bug (or discover

Hi, while searching for a solution i found many solutions in the internet. But the postings seemed to be many years old and the workaround was a dirty hack like this: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f Now its the year 2009 and there might have been some improvement... Does anyone know a nice and easy way to turn labels on the y axis in the

Dear listserv, Here is my latest formatting problem. I would like to rotate the x-axis labels by 45 degrees on a _barplot_. Apparently this is slightly different from the example given in the R FAQ, which is for rotating the x-axis labels on a scatterplot (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f). I have adapted that code, as best I could, and

Hello All, I am trying to format a box plot chart for a report so it matches other charts I have created in other software programs. My problem is that I need to rotate the values on the Y axis by 45 degrees, I have tried to use the srt parameter but with no luck? Does anybody have any suggestions? Regards, Daniel My syntax is as follows:

I searched the forms (i.e., R Search)?and come up with the following suggested link: ?http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f I tried to implement what I believe was being implied by that URL and came up with the below: barplot(WorldPhones[1,], ??????? ylim=c(0, 50000), ??????? axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE, ???????

I'd like to rotate x-axis labels to get a diagonal orientation (rather than horizontal or vertical), this would result in an easier read, any ideas? thanks, Gitta

Dear experts, Is there a way to change the angle in which the axes are labeled? I would like to draw a barplot where items are countries and, in order to fit the country?s names in, tilt these names about 45?. Is this possible? I cannot find any examples in the docs. Thanks for your help!!! Christoph

On the attached figure, I had to use ylim (0,3) to have enough space for the labels to be plotted. However, the values on the y-axis are never bigger than 1, so the axis labeling does not make much sense. Can I only get y-axis tick marks at 0 and 1 but still have the additional plotting space for the labels? Thanks Andreas -- -------------------------- Andreas Zankl, MD Division of

Hi! I am trying to get the tick / label under a stacked boxplot with only a single data row. With >=2 rows it works, but with a single one the tick resp. my class name is not printed below the boxplot. Can anybody point me to what am I doing wrong? For example: boxplot(data.frame(c(3,4,5)),names=list("a"),beside=F) Here, I would like to have the "a" below the single

Dear , As a newbit to R learning boxplot, please kindly share how to rotate y axis lable by 90 degrees or 180 degrees clockwise. Also, please advise how to resize the label font and change its color. Thank you Elaine [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi user R, I am try to put degree character in axis x, but don't make this. I have the next code: plot(mot[,5], time1,xlim=c(-45,-10),type="l",yaxt="n",ylab="",col=1,lwd=2,xlab="",xaxt="n") The range of value in axis-x is -45 to -10, this values represents the longitudes positions in space. I try to put 45?S for real value (-45) in

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.

Hi: I have a question making side by side boxplot. My response is numeric and I want to make a side by side boxplot of it accroding to a factor vector. So, there are several boxplots on the same plot. Each boxplot is with respect to one level for a factor. The levels of the factor are some characters. When I make the plot, the boxplots are arranged according to the alphabetic order of the

Dear colleagues, i found a line or two of code in the help archives from Uwe Ligges about creating slanted x-labels for a barplot and it works well for my purposes (code below). However, I was hoping someone could explain to me precisely what the code is doing. I'm aware it's invoking the text command, and I know the first ttwo arguments to text are x and y co-ordinates. I'm also

Hi, another question: is there any argument that controls the line width of axis box of xyplot()? I tried lwd=2 or lwd.axis=2 in xyplot() or within scales=list() argument, without success. Thanks John
