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,

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, 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

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))

For R Version 1.1.1 and R-devel (Linux)... Sorry, there's no time to fix myself now {e.g., after starting a new device} : par(las=3); plot(1:10); par(las=1) ; mtext("mtext") Gives a left-adjusted (as for adj = 0) mtext, even if par("adj") is still 0.5 Note that I'm also not convinced that mtext() should follow par("las") as it does in the

Here are another three problems with logarithmic scales: 1) segments() does not work with logarithmic scales. I suggest to change lines 962-973 in "plot.c": for (i = 0; i < n; i++) { if (FINITE(xt(x0[i%nx0])) && FINITE(yt(y0[i%ny0])) && FINITE(xt(x1[i%nx1])) && FINITE(yt(y1[i%ny1]))) { GP->col = INTEGER(col)[i % ncol];

Hello, I wish to customize the tick marks and labels of axes in panels produced by high-level lattice functions, namely xyplot. I know I can use the scales argument to specify values for rot, cex, etc. in the top-level call. However, I am interested in determining values for cex and rot based on the current panel / viewport and device. More specifically, I would like to make adjustments when

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

Hello, in the help of mtext I found "at: If ?length(at)==0? (the default), the location will be determined by ?adj?" But if I use mtext( "hello world", at=NULL) there comes the following error message: Fehler in mtext("hallo Welt", side = 3, adj = NA, at = NULL) : 'at' mit L?nge 0 angegeben So the help says it is ok to use at with length(at) == 0 but if

Depending on the setting of par()$usr, the 'at' setting in mtext(.., adj=0, outer=T) may cause the text to appear in an anomalous position (e. g. in the first instance below, at the left of the plot region rather than at 'at=0' in the figure region), or the text may not appear at all. If one does not set the 'at' parameter the text appears (with 'adj=0') on the

<> 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

Following on from my previous mail! plot(1:10,1:10) mtext("title", side=3, adj=0, font=3, cex=1.5) This works as expected and puts the font in italics. tag <- "A)" suffix <- "genea::" plot(1:10,1:10) mtext(bquote(.(tag) ~ Delta * .(suffix)), side=3, adj=0, font=3, cex=1.5) Here, the font isn't in italics, it's normal. I presume this is some

Dear R-helpers, I have trouble aligning an expression with a subscript, and text, in margin text: par(mar=c(6,6,1,1)) b <- barplot(1:3) mtext(c("A","B","C"), at=b, side=1, line=1, cex=1.3) mtext(expression(italic(C)[a]~(more~text)), at=0, line=1, side=1,cex=1.3) As explained in the help files and elsewhere, I understand that the expression is aligned by the

I am trying to adjust the sigma symbol down in the y direction with the following command but R recycles the sigma and puts another at -0.1 in the x axis.

Sir, I have hit a the limits of my understanding of text / par / opar etc... I have a few related xts data frames which have multiple columns, and have written a for-loop to make a set of charts - however i do not get any margin text when i run the loop. when i test the code outside of the loop the margin text appears - however when i run the loop the margin text does not appear ... what gives?

In the version of R that I am running I have found two advertised features that don't appear to work correctly: Version 0.61.0 Alpha (December 21, 1997) (installed using r-base-0.61.0-2.i386.rpm) 1. mtext adj parameter is seriously offset to the right. For example: > par(oma=c(0,0,3,0)) > mtext("Try this", side=3, outer=T) # nothing is observed on x11 > mtext("Now

I want to assign different colors to different strings using mtext(...). However, when I use something like mtext(text=c("string1","string2","string3"), col=c("black","blue","red"), side=3, line=0) string2 and string3 are printed over string1. When I use paste("string1","string2","string3"), the series

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.
