similar to: Vertical string with horizontal letters

Hello Core Team, I sent this patch over a year ago. It looks like it was sent in response to another user's complaint which echoed some of my own observations about problems in the documentation for 'text'. Did anyone have a chance to look it over? I'd like to get it out of my queue. Thanks, Frederick On Tue, Apr 11, 2017 at 12:01:05PM -0700, frederik at ofb.net wrote: >

Rotated text for axis labels should be possible with one of par(srt=90) axis(1,at,labels) par(srt=0) or axis(1,at,labels,srt=90) (or similar with crt instead of srt) None of these works in pre0.65 or in 0.64.2 _ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.7 arch sparc os solaris2.7 system sparc,

Hi, This is not a bug, but an enhancement suggestion. "strwidth" only gives the width of the text according to the x-axis user coordinates, and similarly for "strheight". Even if the par setting "srt" is changed to rotate the text, the resulting width (resp. height) is in terms of the non-rotated text. Currently, if I want to know how much space to leave for

Hi, I would like to use the beanplot() function from the beanplot package. Unfortunately, I can't find out how to suppress the dashed horizontal line, that shows the overall mean. In the help I've found the argument "overallline", but it only allows for "mean" or "median" . I have tried overallline = F, overallline="n", and

Hello, I recently switch over from Splus to R and I have not been able to generate right axis labels that face inwards. This is accomplished in Splus with the command srt=270 but this option is not supported in R. In addition the par argument las=0 or 3 does not rotate the right axis labels. The editor of a journal is demanding that the right axis labels face inwards in the figures I recently

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

Full_Name: Emmanuel Paradis Version: 2.4.0 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (193.49.41.124) Adding text to a plot makes R freeze if 'srt' is given a very small negative value, eg: plot(1, type = "n") text(1, 1, "some text....", srt = -1e-8) But if 'srt = -1e-6' (or smaller) or 'srt = -1e-19' (or greater), this works. This seems to be OS-dependent:

Dear R-help team I have tried hard to turn my Y axis 90 degrees, so that it is written horizontally, and placing it above the Y axis, but I did not succeed. I have tried to adapt the following functions: - plot() - title() - mtext() And some more that did not prove to be useful (e.g. text() etc). The closest I got to my aim was with mtext(): mtext("Yield

Hi, I would like to place a line (tilted at an angle) in the margin of an R plot. Is there any way to place such an annotation outside the plotting area? As an alternative, being able to plot a rotated character (the pipe, |) in the margin would be sufficient. The problem is that mtext doesn't work with the srt option. As a further alternative, if I could put a legend in the margin, I

Dear all, I stumbled over a problem recently when trying to use srt with text() on a windows device. What I intended to do was to plot a simple regression line, and to rotate a piece of text such that the text has the same angle as the regression line. However, the text is always plotted in a slightly wrong angle: #### x=1:10 #create arbitrary x and y values y=x*2-rnorm(1:10)

Hi! (I'd like to be able to access your bugzilla, BTW) The documentation for parameter "adj" of text() in R 3.3.3 is hard to understand (unless you know what it does already): "adj one or two values in [0, 1] which specify the x (and optionally y) adjustment of the labels. On most devices values outside that interval will also work." What is the meaning of the values? I

I seem to remember this coming up before, but I can't find it any messages I've saved or in the archives (searching by subject). I want to rotate mtext so that it's perpendicular to the right side. I tried srt=90 and lots of other values, but it seems to be ignored. Is there a way to do this? ______________________________________________________________________ Stuart Luppescu

Dear R users, I used plot() and mtext() functions to draw a plot. The numbers: 0,20,35, 40,60,80,100 were in the vertical direction. I'd like to transfer them into the horizontal direction. plot(0,0,xaxt="n",type="n", ylim=c(0,100)) mtext("35",side=2,at=35) Any suggestion? Thanks. Rebecca [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Just wondering: it appears that "srt" does not accept a vector of values, just a single value. I ended up using tapply() as the following code snippet shows, so it's not a major problem. I was justa little surprised that this argument (srt) differs from things like "labels," "lty," "col," and so on, all of which accept (and recycle as needed

Dear R-users moving from Splus to R (under Windows), I notice that command "srt" within a plot in the original Splus code is ignored by R. For example, if a plot something and then include the line of code axis(1, at=Time, labels=Text, srt=45, adj=1) the srt=45 command within the axis() command fails to draw Text at 45 degrees on the x-axis in R but it works properly in Splus. I will

Hi there, I just noticed that "crt" is a graphical parameter, which is stated as follows in the help page of "par": A numerical value specifying (in degrees) how single characters should be rotated. It is unwise to expect values other than multiples of 90 to work... However, I did not find any code example to demo the usage of "crt", and even know how to present a

Hi Jinsong, Maybe "srt" will do what you want. As you noted non-orthogonal rotations may not work on some devices. You may be able to download mirror fonts from places like fontmirror.com, but it more complicated.
