similar to: how to plot a nice legend?

Hello everybody, Is it possible to coax legend() into displaying more than one simbol per line in legend? I have a graph like the one attached to this mail; I would like to reorganize the legend in such a way that the duplicate text would be omitted, i.e., the first line would read <square> <triangledown> "increasing frequency" and the second one would read <circle>

Hi, how can i play around with my first selfwritten package [*] without to install it to my debian system? I think of something like doing this: /tmp/$ R R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) Copyright (C) 2010 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing ISBN 3-900051-07-0 > library(/tmp/sitools) 3 * kilo [1] 3000 [*] https://github.com/jonasstein/sitools -- Jonas Stein <news at

Hi, i want to make my plots look uniform in LaTeX documents. - usage of the same font on axes and in legend like LaTeX uses (for example "Computer Modern") - put real LaTeX formulas on the axes Have you any hints how i can achieve that? I had no luck two years ago, but i want to try it again now. kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news at jonasstein.de>

Hi, i create two constants kilo and milli in [1]. These should be available after loading library(sitools) How should i export them and what have i done wrong? (Other suggestions for improving the package are welcome too) The ready to use .tar.gz and the source can be found on github [2,3] kind regatds, [1] https://github.com/jonasstein/sitools/blob/master/init.R [2]

Set the legend position explicitly with x and y values and add xpd = TRUE to the legend call to clip the plot to the figure region and not the plot region (the default). Something like this (you may have to fool around with y.intersp, etc. to allow enough space between the legend lines): plot(c(0,1), c(0,1), type="n") legend(x = .4, y = 1.25, legend=c("", "",

when i plot with the following command on console: $ R CMD BATCH cp_messung.R in the R-script i wrote x11() in the beginning, so it draws a nice plot on my screen. But sadly it disappeares after a second or two. How can i make it to wait until i press a key or something? thank you. -- kind regards, Jonas Stein <news at jonasstein.de>

Hi, I think you are right, legend cannot do it. I have now created my own legend function where I changed only one line and now it works the way I want it to. But I'm not sure if that might not have other side effects. I have the impression that the legend and the title start at the same y-position (try y.intersp=0). Only if y.intersp is big enough, then it leads to a non-overlap of

Hi, fp is a data frame like this ,----[ fp ] | Frequenz AmpNorm | 1 3322 0.0379490639 | 2 3061 0.0476033058 | 3 2833 0.0592954124 | 4 2242 0.1275510204 `---- i want to find the "Frequenz" where "AmpNorm" is max. I use this line as workaround: PeakFreqHz = subset(fp, AmpNorm == max(AmpNorm))$Frequenz[1] Is there something nicer? And is there an

Hi, my MWE is not working as expected: plot(c(0,1), c(0,1), type="n") legend("top", legend=c("", "", "a"), col=c("blue", "red", "green"), title="test", y.intersp=0.2, lwd=1) The lines are not below the title. I want (nearby) lines as in the plot, but below the title. Is there a way to achieve this?

i want to plot values with frequency on a logarithmic x axis. similar to this example that i found in the web: http://www.usspeaker.com/jensen%20p15n-graph.gif I would like to convert long numbers to si prefix notation like in the example (200000 to 200k, 35000000 to 3.5 M) Of course i could create labels by hand, but i have many files so i need some automatic function. Has anyone done that

Why fails nls with "singular gradient" here? I post a minimal example on the bottom and would be very happy if someone could help me. Kind regards, ########### # define some constants smallc <- 0.0001 t <- seq(0,1,0.001) t0 <- 0.5 tau1 <- 0.02 # generate yy(t) yy <- 1/2 * ( 1- tanh((t - t0)/smallc) * exp(-t / tau1) ) + rnorm(length(t))*0.01 # show the curve

Hi, i want to import data from .ods and .xls files in R on a linux system. Seems it was a faq in the past, but i found only solutions for Windows. Is there a handy solution for linux? The best would be something like mytab <-read.ods(...) Any hints? Thanks a lot for reading so far, -- Jonas Stein <news at jonasstein.de>

Legend titles work in linear plots: curve(1/x, xlim = c(0, 1)) legend(x = 'topright', inset = 0.04, legend = '1/x', lty = 1, title = 'Legend Title') But when you change to a log plot on either dimension things get screwy: curve(1/x, xlim = c(0, 1), log = 'y') legend(x = 'topright', inset = 0.04, legend = '1/x', lty = 1,

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

Dan, Another tweak ! If you want the 'legend' to look pretty you can resize it by adding,say, 'cex=0.6' into the legend code; try--- legend("topleft", #inset=-1, legend = do.call("expression", L), bg='white', ncol = 2, pch=c('','','',':',':',':'), x.intersp = 0.4,

Hi, please can you help me. When I add a legend to a boxplot it appears inside the plot area, how do you get it into the margins? I have already changed the parameters so there is space for it on the margin on the right hand side of the graph. Thanks, Emily [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am creating a CDF plot function more user-friendly than any default r function. Depending upon the bimodality of the data (it is often bimodal), or any other strange data trends, the points can end up gathering in just about any corner of the plot. So, when I add a legend, whether I choose to add it in the bottom right, top left, or wherever, it will sometimes end up putting the legend right

Hi, may be its a very simple question, but i did not find any documentation about a 'include' command or something like this. I have to set many constants in my R-files and want to move all these to one file, so that i can reuse it in all other R-files. Something like include("~/R/myconstants.R") kind regards, -- Jonas Stein <news at jonasstein.de>

Hi i have a list of many files and want to load them into a list of tables, that can be adressed with a variable 'i'. something like files = c("0125um","2000um","2200um","2500um","2700um") for (i in 1:5) { fp[i] <- read.table( files[i] ) } but this does not work of course. Has anyone a good hint? Thank you, -- Jonas Stein
