Hi, I need to produce an ordinary scatter plot and it is vital that the aspect ratio equals 1. I set the axis as: plot(x, y, type="n", asp=1, ,ylim=c(-80,70),xlim=c(0,100)). The problem is that I get some 'additional' blank plot area (basically, the lower bound of xlim becomes quite negative). The xlim is not the range of the x-data, but I need the 0 there for further

Suppose I have the following data I want to scatterplot: > xy [,1] [,2] [1,] 0 0 [2,] 21 4 I start up a graphics window and fire away: > plot(xy) - but because the graphics window is square, the aspect ratio is wrong. So I add: > plot(xy, asp=1) - now the aspect ratio is correct, but the Y range is about -8 to 11, whereas my data has a Y range of 0

Hello there, I have a fairly simple request (I hope!) I have produced a filled contour plot like this: library(grDevices) library(gplots) library(plotrix) filled.contour(contour, axes=F, frame.plot=TRUE, color=terrain.colors, ylab= "Length Along Flume (m)", key.title = title(main="Velocity\n(m/s)"), key.axes = axis(4, seq(0, 0.6, by = 0.1)), asp=2, plot.axes = {

Hi everyone I want a square scatterplot with abline(0,1) going exactly through the SW and NE corners. By "square" I mean that the plotting region is exactly square, and that the axis limits are identical. x <- 1:20 y <- x+rep(c(-1,1),10) lims <- range(c(x,y)) None of the following do this: plot(x,y) ; abline(0,1) #not square plot(x,y,asp=1);abline(0,1) #diagonal

How can I look up the aspect ratio of a plot, so I can use that to correctly adjust the angle of text which is supposed to be parallel to a line in the plot? The following example code works for a 1:1 aspect ratio, but puts the text at the wrong angle if the plot region is short and wide or tall and narrow. I can't find a par() component containing the plot aspect ratio. It will be for

Hi, I am gradually moving from the classical R plot functions to the library Lattice I have some questions about contourplot () and its arguments: 1/ I am working on geographical coordinates which makes necessary that the X (longitude) and Y (latitude) units be represented with the same distance on screen. This was obtained in the classical R plots with plot.default(x,y, asp=1,...) and then

Hi I've been playing with a 3x2 graphics device using the default size as it appears on screen. This has given me tall thin plots which I can resize by dragging the window and increasing the window width. However I was wondering if I can force R to produce square plots or set the actual aspect ratio. asp seems to affect data units, not on-screen pixel units. thanks mike -- View this

I almost always supply my own aspect ratio when plotting using lattice. When I plot these to pdf, I would like to specify pdf dimensions that will result in minimal margins around the plot. In my application, resorting to a pdf cropper after plotting is not an option - I must do it in R. The problem is that I cannot determine the correct aspect ratio for the overall plot (accounting

Hi all, Does anyone know of a fairly easy way to "stretch" a heatmap vertically? I've got 42 arrays and would like to be able to see as many significant genes as possible (right now I can only get 50 genes with it still being readable). In some comparisons there are several hundred significant genes. I've fiddled with the "asp" argument, but that doesn't

Dear all, this should be trivial, but I couldn't figure out how to solve it... I would like to have a plot with fixed aspect ratio of 1. Whenever I resize the Quartz window, the axes are extended so that the plot fills the whole window. However, if you have different extensions for the different axes, the plot does not look like "a square" anymore (i.e., aspect ratio 1). The same

Dear all, I have a problem which I'm not sure if it is due to my machine or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm ploting a little map using plot(val, type="l", asp=1) where val is the object with the latitude/longitude data. In the screen the figure is perfect, and I can copy to the clipboard and paste it to other places. I can also saved using png() or jpeg(), althoug

Dear all, I'm trying to get a series of lattice levelplots to appear in viewports in a particular way but struggling to exert fine control over their appearence. There are two conditions: (a) I only want the levelplot to appear (I don't want axes, colour key, etc) in the viewport and (b) I want the levelplot to expand to the maximum allowable space in the viewport while observing

How can I get the value of the aspect ratio that is used in a lattice plot? In a levelplot for instance, the native units per cm of my x and y axes are different, and I need to know the aspect ratio so that I can correctly plot vectors. I know how to set the aspect in a high-level lattice function but I can't quite figure out how to get it. I would like call to levelplot() without printing

i am using the rarcinfo package to draw maps. for maps, th aspect ratio is quite important. how can i control the aspect ratio and the size of a graphics window in the mswindows version of R and more generally in R in general. i would like to e able to both set the size before or while the window is corrected, and also for a window which already exists. -- -- Erich Neuwirth, Computer Supported

Can someone enlighten me on what the status is of aspect ratio in theora is ? The ti structure has aspect_num and _den values, which I assume give the intended display aspect ratio (e.g. 4/3). The sample files on the bittorrent seem to say both values are 0 for all files. I'd think it should at least be made impossible to have a 0 as the denominator. The library doesn't check the

I am interested to know how to make for clouds: - aspect ratio = 1 - labels attached to points - vertical lines from the points to the x/y base plane I tried: t = c( 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' ) x = c( 100, 0, 200, 100 ) y = c( 0, 100, 0, 100 ) z = c( 80, 0, 20, 40 ) q = data.frame( x, y, z ) rownames( q ) = t print(cloud( z ~ x *

Hi everyone, Hi Hadley, I am a heavy user of coord_equal() in ggplot2 since most of my data is spatial, on x,y coordinates. Everything works. However by enforcing an aspect ratio of 1 for the plotting region, coord_equal() usually wastes a lot of space if the region of interest is not a perfect square. For example: x=runif(10) a=data.frame(x=x*3,y=x) ggplot(data=a, aes(x=x,y=y)) +

Is there a way to control the aspect ratio of plots using ggplot? Specifically, I'm using the formula=a~b argument to produce a grid of plots, but the overall width of the result seems to vary for reasons that are obscure to me. This affects not only the appearance of the plots but the amount of space available for the title (which seems to be right justified relative to the right edge of the

Hello, I wrote a theora video encoder based on etheora (and the examples provided with it) for Processing IDE (processing.org). I have some problem with the quality of encoded frames. eg. http://poux.be/tmp/movie.ogg And when I play the movie with mplayer or totem, the video resolution is changed from 640x480 to 854x480 (when i use ETHEORA_ASPECT_NORMAL in etheora_enc_setup). And if I try to
