similar to: mtext text size (cex) doesn't match plot

R 2.15.1 OS X (MLion) Colleagues, I am aware that changes in mfrow / mfcol in par() affect cex (from help: In a layout with exactly two rows and columns the base value of ?"cex"? is reduced by a factor of 0.83: if there are three or more of either rows or columns, the reduction factor is 0.66). I generate a multipage PDF in which mfrow varies such that cex is impacted. This affect

Dear R-users, the problem I'm facing today is to write a multicolor main title in a plot. I would like to have 3/4 colors to help people in the audience to visually realize what is what in a 4x2 plot array On top of each plot I would like to have two lines. The 1st line will indicate what is plotted The 2nd line will indicate a a reference Graphically speaking I would like a result similar

Hi, I wanted to plot 2 lines on a single graph. Each graph has one axis that can be common. The code that I'm using is: ------------------------------------------------------- par(mfrow=c(1, 1)) x1 <- c(2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12) x2 <- c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60) y1 <- c(10,12,15,22,34,21) y2 <- c(40, 130, 150, 145, 40, 30) par(las=1, mar=c(4, 4, 2, 4)) plot.new()

using R 1.2.1 under LinuxPPC, using the default X11 graphics device, i can't get the cex= argument for plot() and title() to have any effect. works for text(), though. the text size for plot() and title() _is_ correct if par(cex=size) is called first. oddly, mtext() seems to pay attention to cex=, but to ignore the value set by par(). for example, > plot(1:5, 1:5,

Hi, Bert: Yes, I studied the functions you suggested, but I didn't get to adapt it to my example whose reproducible code I sent in my first email. Here it is the code of the functions I studies: ## par par(mfrow = c(2, 3)) par(cex = 0.6) par(mar = c(3, 3, 0, 0), oma = c(1, 1, 1, 1)) for (i in 1:6) { plot(1, 1, type = "n") mtext(letters[i], side = 3, line = -1, adj = 0.1, cex =

Dear list members, i am trying to create multiple figures with identical layout (i.e. font sizes etc.) for a publication created with Latex. To do so (i.e. to get identical font sizes) I save all plots as a pdf with widths and heights as they would later appear in the paper (to prevent scaling etc.). My problem now is that I create several multipanel plots with par(mfrow=c(...)) which sometimes

I'm trying to recreate a graph similar to the last one found on this link: https://sites.ualberta.ca/~lkgray/uploads/7/3/6/2/7362679/6c_-_line_plots_with_error_bars.pdf The difference is that I want budbreak on the top, and the temperatures at the bottom. I tried to set par before each graph and include lines, with no avail. Thanks, Bert. Andre On Mon, Jun 19, 2017 at 7:41 PM, Bert Gunter

Dear all, I found the last example of this link ( https://sites.ualberta.ca/~lkgray/uploads/7/3/6/2/7362679/6c_-_line_plots_with_error_bars.pdf) very similar to the one I need to make for my paper, and I think I got what I wanted by applying some of the suggestions of this mail list. Here it is the code I devised (maybe there will be further improvements from the list): YEAR <- c(1996 ,

1. Did you study the functions (esp. ?layout) to which I referred you? 2.

Hi You are quite close. With slight modification of your code: par(mfrow = c(2, 1)) par(cex = 0.6) par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0), oma = c(4, 4, 0.5, 0.5)) par(tcl = -0.25) par(mgp = c(2, 0.6, 0)) plot(BUD~YEAR, type="o", ann=F, axes=F, pch=19, ylim=c(60,100),data=g1) axis(4, las=2) mtext("Bud Break (Julian Day)", side=4, padj=4) arrows(g1$YEAR,g1$BUD, g1$YEAR,g1$BUD + g1$BUD_SE,

Colleagues, I am trying to create a PDF document in which I use margin text with two different fonts. The resulting text might be: XXXXXyZZZ where X and Z are one font and Y is the other. My plan was to do this in the following manner: mtext("XXXXX ZZZ", cex=2, adj=0.5, family=SOMEFONT) mtext("Y", cex=2, adj=??, family=DIFFERENTFONT) My question regards how to calculate

Hello! I would plot more than 10 (this number is always different) graphics on a figure with layout like 'mfrow=c(4,2)'. There is some existing function able to open the right number of device if number of graphics is done or I have to build it myself with some 'IF.....ELSE.....'? Thanks. A.S. ----------------------------

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

Hi all! So far I learned some R but finilizing my plots so they look publishable seems not to be possible. I set up some boxplots. Everything works well but when I put more then two of them in one plot the labels of the axes appear smaller than the normal font size. > x <- rnorm(30) > y <- rnorm(30) > par(mfrow=c(1,4)) > boxplot(x,y, names=c("horray",

Dear friends, I have the following dataframe: YEAR <- c(1996 , 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 ) T_MAR <- c(2.8, 6.5, 5.4,2.4, 4, 4.1, 3, 4.4, 4.5) T_APR <- c(5.7, 7.8, 7.7, 4.6, 4.7, 6.2,5.7, 5.9, 7) T_MAY <- c(7, 8.8, 10, 6, 5.5, 7.6, 8.5, 7.3, 10.2) BUD <- c(87, 98, 93, 85, 89, 91, 87, 92, 92) BUD_SE <- c(3.6, 2, 2.4, 4, 2.4, 2.4, 4, 2.4, 3) g1 <-

See ?layout ?split.screen ?par (the mfrow and mfcol values) depending exactly on what you want to do and how you want to do it. Essentially, these all allow you to make separate plots at different regions of the device.

Dear helpers, In an attempt to use a loop to generate graphs in a for loop in run into a problem. The plan is to fill each page with eight graphs (mfrow = c(4,2)) in to two columns. Only the buttom graphs ( meaning every fourth graph) have tick labels on the x axis to preserve space. I used an if .... Else statement to achieve that. The problem is that the first eight graphs are skipped

I have a simple graph (oode below) which looks fine on the screen but when I save it in png format the title (actually the last mtext line) is cut off. I am pretty sure that I am doing something very stupid but other than playing around with the png height and width commands which don't seem to help I have no idea of what to look for. Any suggestions or cures would be appreciated. Thanks
