similar to: adjustment of expressions with mtext(..., las=2) (PR#823)

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

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))

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") >

There seems to be a bug in "dotplot" concerning the "cex" parameter. Setting cex has no effect on the character size of the labels of the points. This problem was posted to r-help today (Thu, 18 Jan 2001); the solution given by Brian Ripley (and Uwe Ligges) seems to work for me. Heinrich Rinner. > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86

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 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 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,

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

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

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

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

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,

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?

<> 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

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.

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

Hi, all. I'm using mtext to put some labels in figure margins. Several of these labels are expressions, created with substitute: mtext(substitute(h[x](t), list(x = paste("n", 1, sep = ","))), cex = 2, font = 2, side = 4, line = 1, las = 1) I'm using this to get the subscripting (perhaps there's a better way to do that?). The problem is that the font argument

Hello R-help List I am writing some R scripts to create graphs of water quality trends that will be called by a web service running R. The axis titles will need to change as the input data (ie. water quality variable) changes according to a user's choice made via a web page. The way I am currently passing call-specific parameters to the R script is via a text file created on the fly by the
