Dear helpers, I'm using a R script on several different datasets, which makes that axis scales may vary quite a lot from dataset to dataset. So what I'm looking for now, is how to automagically find out how to position the legend (horizontal) in the space below the x-axis title, and how to make sure that the legend is within the limits of the lower inner or outer margin? I'm aware of

Hi Sir How can I change plot size, figure size and device size? The examples availble for par() function are not very helpful. Would you please give a very simple example?

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

Dear All, When working with composite plots many times I have to manually adjust the graphics display window size to get the best results (in Windows XP). I can then find the size of the adjusted window in inches using par("din"). Now I would like to export the adjusted graphs as png's and have them look as close to the original display as possible. The problem is that the png

Hi, I have the following problem (with R 0.61.3 an Linux, and a new and empty workspace) > oldpar<-par() > par(oldpar) Error: attempt to set invalid value for graphics parameter "fin". > oldpar$fin [1] 6.992034 6.990803 but now: > oldpar$fin <- c(6.99,6.99) > par(oldpar) it works. It seems, that if I set oldpar$fin to values greater than listed above

Hi Paul, thank you for responding. I indeed overlooked, that units="inch" gives stable results, independent of resizing the graphics window on the screen. And indeed I would find some way fiddling around to get my graphic done. However I see a general problem here and I would like a general solution: Obviously we are dealing with two coordinate systems: the graphics device size (call

we still do not have dynamic graphics in R natively. i just found out about a widget library called fltk info is at www.fltk.org it has all the stuff r currently can do only through tcl/tk or (as i do it) excel: sliders, knobs, spinners and so on. it is multiplatform, there are production versions for unixen and windows, and there is a beta for macs. this could be a way of getting some of

Hi there ! I'm ploting graphics and I'd like to save them as a .jpeg file for example, but with a given size (in inches or cm). I tryed the function windows() but I think it just changes the size of the window and not the size of the graph that you're saving. Then I tryed with the function par(din=(width=... height=...) ) but I guess it's protected and I can't change the

R 2.4.1 on Windows XP. Question: In traditional graphics, is it possible to find out the height of a line of text in units that can be used in arithmetic and then in calls to text()? Context: I have written a function that draws a plot and then, depending on whether some arguments are TRUE or FALSE, draws various lines of text in the plot. The text lines may be turned on or off individually

Hi, I am trying to infer the dimension of an opened bitmap (png, jpeg, bitmap device...) from par() parmeters. From the help on par(), I found that: > dim <- c(400, 200) > png("foo.png", width=dim[1], height=dim[2]) > dim2 <- par("din") * par("cra") / par("cin") > dev.off() > dim2 [1] 399.9999 199.9999 I've tried the above on

Dear list, I have to plot some geometrical shape given as list of points. My need is the following: let's say my shape is a 1 inch large square; how can I plot it with R in a graphic format that gives me an image *exactly* 1 inch large? I tried to set oma, mar and fin parameters, but with no success. I'm currently using the xfig driver for the final images are to be included in latex

I wrote a R script say called computeCovarMatrix.R and i want to call and run this piece from Excel visual basic. does anyone know how to do that? thanks, KZ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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

Dear R users, I've just posted a similar question about Illustrator. This time I would like to export the results of my statistic tables and my dataframes into Excel files. Up to now I've used write.csv(), but I have to resave every file in .xls in Excel. I would like to know if there is a function or package to export directly into *.xls. I have found xlsReadWrite which would be
