Part 1) is basically that the initial rescaling is done if the window is too large to fit on the screen. That's true and obvious (no scrollbars) and intentional and on the help page. As ever, you need to report bugs on what is documented, not what you would like. This will be changed for 1.2.1, but was several hours' work. I have also cleaned up the scrollbar behaviour. Part 2) I just

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

R users, I have a problem with function strwidth in 2.7.1. I'm trying to set the plot margins in a way that horizontal column labels will fit to the graph. tmp.t is a list of data.frame objects. This code works well in 2.6.0. ...snip.. library(gplots) for (i in names(tmp.t)) { bmp(filename=paste(i, "_", Sys.Date(), ".bmp", sep=""), width=1038,

In help(unit) I read: The 'data' argument must be a list when the 'unit.length()' is greater than 1. For example, 'unit(rep(1, 3), c("npc", "strwidth", "inches"), data=list(NULL, "my string", NULL))'. In the newest R-versions it is not anymore allowed to let strings in the data-argument for plain units, otherwise one

I have many functions for high-level plotting that early on in their code do something like strwidth('string', units='inches') before plotting. I do this before plot() to set the correct margins with par(mai=...), to leave room for wide text on the left or right margins. If the plotting device is not opened strwidth( ) causes an error that plot.new() needs to be called. I can

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

I want to right-justify a vector of numbers in the right margin of a low-level plot. For this I need to compute the line parameter to give to mtext. Is this the correct scalable calculation? par(mar=c(4,3,1,5)); plot(1:20) s <- 'abcde'; w=strwidth(s, units='inches')/par('cin')[1] mtext(s, side=4, las=1, at=5, adj=1, line=w-.5, cex=1) mtext(s, side=4, las=1, at=7,

Dear R-help members, with the help of one of you the following R-Code was developed. No I have the (probably simple) problem that I want to increase font size of "text" and "ylab" names from 1 to 2. Unfortunately I'm not able to adjust the margin so, that the plot is appers complete (all names readable) on a 8:14 Inch scale plot. Some times I get the error message that

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

Deepayan, Paul: Thanks very much for the very useful leads. I just spent some time this afternoon implementing your suggestions and my early test results are very encouraging. Paul, I understand the potential device re-sizing issue with the convert family of functions in grid, and will be in touch in case it becomes problematic for my applications. I very much look forward to your upcoming

Dear All, I would like to plot text with a box around it. I used strwidth and strheight to compute the size of the box which is plotted with rect: z <- rnorm(10) # horizontal text works plot(rnorm(10)) x1 <- 5 y1 <- 0 label <- "Label" cha <- paste(" ", label, " ", sep = "") xh <- strwidth(cha, cex = par("cex")) yh <-

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

Hello, I have a simple question that I could not really figure out. I am plotting labels within a graph using the text function. I first plot the first label by specifying the x and y coordinates on the graph. Then to plot the second label next to it, I am using te strwidth function to get the width of the previous label in user coordinate then add the maximum width to the x value. However, this
