similar to: Align expression and text in mtext()

<> Hello One sometimes (quite often really ) marvel at the choice of defaults in R's graphic engine. For some obscure reason, mtext uses the typographical descender (bottom of letters) to align text. That is: "gG" will end up slightly higher that "GG". Depending on the font, "Q" might end up higher than "O". (for explanation of baseline

Dear R Users, I am quite surprised to see that mtext gives different results when it is used with 'pairs' and with "plot'. In the two following codes, it seems that the 'at' argument in mtext doesn't consider the same unit system. I would appreciate your comments on this issue. Sebastien ##### Pairs mydata<-data.frame(x=1:10,y=1:10) par(cex.main=1,

Hi all, I have read through the archives, but can't find a solution to this problem. I need the text direction on "dependent B", plotted in margin 4, to go top to bottom (opposite what it is now). Here's some sample code: #plot with mtext example par(mgp = c(2,1,0), mfrow=c(2,2), las=1, mar=c(2,2,2,2), omi= c(0.5,0.2,0,0.2)) a<-1:10 b<-7:16 c<-21:30 plot(a~b,

Hi all, Quick question: What function can I use to draw a line in the margin of a plot? segments() and lines() both stop at the margin. In case the answer depends on exactly what I'm trying to do, see below. I'm using R v. 2.8.1 on Windows XP. Cheers, Alan I'm trying to make a horizontal barplot with a column of numbers on the right side. I'd like to put a line between the

Dear all, Our quite basic function mtext() does wrong adjustments in some parameter configurations. This gets obvious when using multi line texts: There is no way to properly adjust text perpendicular to axis 2, for example. Best Jens Oehlschl?gel m <- matrix(1:9, 3) colnames(m) <- c("several\nlines", "several\nlines", "several\nlines") par(mfrow=c(2,2))

Dear R experts, I am trying to save three plots using tiff graphics devices; however the following code only produces two files (Rplot002.tif and Rplot003.tif) showing figures 1 and 3. Here is a simplified ex code tiff(filename ="Rplot%03d.tif",width=24,height=20,units="cm",res=300, pointsize=10, compression = "lzw") plot(1) mtext("Fig

Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to change the text direction of mtext? I'd like to use 'mtext(side=2)' but the text should be 'left-to-right'. I couldn't find an argument for that in the help files.

Hi Can anyone please help me in understanding the utility of "padj" and "outer (logical)" values in the '*mtext function*' given below are the output I generated on using the below code which is different from the formula description on r help > par(mfrow=c(2,1),xpd=NA) > y1 <- rnorm(100) > plot(y1,ann=F,axes=F,type="l") >

First of all, I apologize for the triple post, but I did not see that the word wrap on the r-help list site would render my code unusable. So here it is again. Hoping that this time it will work if you cut and paste it in your Rgui. I have a program that works well in Rgui but that does not work in a batch file (Execution halted). Here's the code (it will work on your R, but you need

Hello, I have the following problem: I created an ecdf and a barplot. Unfortunatly, the bars are not where I would like them to be (please see picture below). http://www.nabble.com/file/p12877530/problem.gif That's my code: #------------------------ par(mfrow=c(2,1), mar=c(2,3,3,2)) #ECDF x = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2) F2.5 <- ecdf(x) plot(F2.5,

Hi, I have a problem with aligning text which I'm adding to a plot using "mtext". I would like to specify the position of the right hand end of the text string, relative to the device (in the left-right direction). I've been looking at the use of the argument "adj". But this can't be used to specify the rightmost point of the text. Neither does it specify exactly

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 ,

Hi, I've got the following edf: *** x = c(1.6,1.8,2.4,2.7,2.9,3.3,3.4,3.4,4,5.2) F2.5 <- ecdf(x) plot(F2.5, verticals= TRUE, do.p = TRUE, lwd=3, ylab = "", xlab = "", xlim = c(1,5.5)) abline(h= (0:5)*0.2) #mean abline(v=mean(x), lwd=2) mtext(text=expression(bar(x) == 3.07), side=1, adj=0.462, padj=3, cex=1) *** Now I would like to

Hello, I have tried to change the margin widths so that mtext (here "sd of consecutive pc intervals", look at the picture) and plot(...,xlab="bar") fits to the picture. Here is an example: http://users.utu.fi/attenka/margins.png This doesn't help: par(mar=c(5.1, 7.1, 4.1, 2.1)) And here are the commands: png(filename="/Users/kone/Vaitostutkimus/Pictures/

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,

hi I'm using the GDD package (in a 64bits fedora machine using R 2.3.0) to save in a png file some plots and i noticed that changing the lwd parameter does not change my line width I tried the same script in a Windows based R (2.2.1 r36812), using no GDD, and it worked. Does anybody has a clue? My testing script is something dumb like this: library(GDD) GDD("pres24.png",

I would like the text plotted with 'mtext' to be alighned like it is for printing on the console. Here is what I have: > print(emt) ME RMSE MAE MPE MAPE MASE original -1.034568e+07 1.097695e+08 2.433160e+07 -31.30554 37.47713 1.5100050 xreg 1.561235e+01 2.008599e+03 9.089473e+02 267.05490 280.66734

Hi I was searching for some X replacement for my job in R and i found the GDD I installed it and I match all the system requirements. My problem (maybe a dumb one) is that every plot comes with no font and i cant find a simgle example of a plot WITH FONT DETAIL in the list can anybody help me? a simple example: library(GDD) GDD("something.png", type="png", width = 700,

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 <-
