similar to: Rotating the x-axis labels of a barplot

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

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, ???????

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

Hi, I do not have much R experience just the basics, so please excuse any obvious questions. I would like to create bubble plot that have Categorical data on the x and y axis and then the diameter if the bubble the value related to x and y. Attached to the email is a pic of what I would like to do. I do hope someone can help me. -- Regards/Groete/Mit freundlichen Gr??en/recuerdos/meilleures

Hello! I have two question that rose from trying to tacle the same problem in two differnet ways. What I want to do is to plot axes (only values or labels, no tick marks) in such a way that 'cex' can be very small, text can be perpendicular to the axis (as in axis(las=2) ) and the text is stil at the right position. Let me demonstrate with a small example:

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

Hi how can print x-axis labels in 45 degree in boxplot() (or plot in general)? I can use las=2 to print in 90 degree, but it looks ugly. Is there a simple option to do 45 degree easily? Thanks John

hi everyone : i'm trying to rotate the x axis labels in my barlot ( yes, since yesterday ) and my prob12matrix is 2 rows and 16 columns and i followed the instructions in the archive "rotate barplot labels". i was really looking forward to seeing my labels turned but the plot just came back with no labels ? can anyone see what might be going on ? it worked when i followed the

I have a data set that I display using barplot. I don't know what you call it, but when I look at it, it looks like this: > lsu (0,0.1] (0.1,0.2] (0.2,0.3] (0.3,0.4] (0.4,0.5] (0.5,0.6] A 0.052631579 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.000000000 B 0.000000000 0.000000000 0.001007049 0.003021148 0.000000000 0.000000000 E 0.200000000 0.000000000

Anybody know how to rotate shapes generated with the 'points' function? I'm trying to place points around a radial diagram such that the y-axis of individual shapes are oriented with the radii of the circle rather than the y-axis of the larger plot area. Perhaps something analogous to the 'srt' and 'crt' functions for text that appear under 'par'?

Hi all, - how can I do a barplot with rotated axis labels? I've seen the example for just a plot in the FAQ, but I'll missing the coordinates to plot my text at the right position beneath the bars. Is there any (easy?) solution? - how can I set the y-axis in a barplot to logarithmic scale? Many thanks in advance! Best Regards Tom --

My question is based on an example provided in the following: Referencing: Statistics with R Vincent Zoonekynd <zoonek at math.jussieu.fr> 6th January 2007 URL: http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/all.html data(HairEyeColor) a <- as.table( apply(HairEyeColor, c(1,2), sum) ) # Provided Example barplot(a, beside = TRUE, legend.text = attr(a, "dimnames")$Hair) # I

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

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

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

Dear listserv, I am trying to perform a principal components analysis and create an output table of the eigenvalues for the dependent variables. What I want is to see which variables are driving each principal components axis, so I can make statements like, "PC1 mostly refers to seed size" or something like that. For instance, if I try the example from ?prcomp > prcomp(USArrests,

Dear Listserv, Here is my latest in a series of simple-seeming questions that dog me.

R 2.14.1 OS X Colleagues, I am making a graphic with two y-axes. I create the label for the right-side axis with: mtext(side=4, line=1, "Some text") The label is rotated 90° counterclockwise. I would prefer that it be rotated 90° clockwise. However, srt is not supported for mtext and las does not offer this option. Is there some other means to rotate the text string? Thanks in
