It seems that when an argument 'mgp' is supplied to axis(), the mgp[2] value (position of tick mark labels) is honoured but the mgp[3] value (position of axis line) is ignored. Example: plot(1:5, xaxt='n', ann=FALSE) par(mgp=c(0,2,1)) axis(1, at=2:4, mgp=c(0,-2,-3)) Axis line is plotted at margin line 1, tick mark labels at line -3. Is this a bug? J. R. M. Hosking

I have long axis labels (8units) on the x axis and 2 unit number labels on the y axis. I need to move the x axis title without moving the y axis title. I have used mgp=c(title, label and line), but mgp moves both the x and y titles. The following puts the y axis title way way out to the left. Anyone know how to move just the x axis. X11() conif<-c("Control", "Switched

I just installed 99.0a, and I can't set mar and mgp: > par(mar(2,2,.1,.1)) Error in par(mar(2, 2, .1, .1)) : couldn't find function "mar" I had the same happen with mgp. Are these bugs or a problem in my installation (everything else seems OK)? Is R core going to kill mar and mgp? If so, how should I fix the huge margins and huge space between axis title and axis? Try this

Dear R-wizards! I want to move the axis label of the y-axis a little bit more apart from the border of the plot (otherwise, it would overlap with my horizontal numbering). 'par(mgp(3.5, 1, 0))' does it properly. Unfortunately, it also moves the x-axis label which does not look good. Is there a way to specify 'mgp' for each axis separately or is there another way to move just

Thanks to Brian Ripley I have been using R utilities for some time for converting S-Plus UNIX nroff help files to .Rd to .html files. .Rd files seem to be the most natural format for help files and this format is probably easier to maintain than nroff, so I would like to start using .Rd files as my master documentation format if anyone has a utility for going from .Rd to nroff. I guess I could

Hello R-help, I'm trying to make a fairly simple plot axis that goes something like this: plot(-10:10,-10:10, yaxt='n') axis(side=2, las=1, hadj=1, tck=-.01, cex.axis=.6) ...but as you can see, the labels are not close enough to the y-axis (where I want them... to save space for publication). Can anybody help me figure out how to move these labels over the the right a bit?

Hi all, I consider myself a somewhat experienced user of R, but have struggled with this for a while now. to the point where I just end up pulling the entire graph together in powerpoint and fixing it up from there. How does one adjust the horizontal/vertical positions of axis titles? I've tried using mgp in the par function, but that never produces anything satisfactory as x and y-axes are

Hello, I'm new to this and am trying to teach myself some R by plotting biological data. The growth curve in question is supposed to be fitted to the Verhulst equation, which may be transcribed as follows: f(x)=a/(1+((a-0.008)/0.008)*exp(-(b*x))) - for a known population density (0.008) at t(0). I am trying to rework the example from "An Introduction to R" (p. 72) for my case and

To whom it may concern. As I would like to analyse some array data I was keen on downloading the lumi package that depends obviously on hdrcde that is not available for r 2.12.1. I did not find instructions to solve or circumvent this problem. Installing hdrcde by hand did not work either. It was not detected by > (.packages(all.available=TRUE)) if installed in the R library. Thanks Hermann

Hi, I am trying to make my axis labels left justified, and have used adj=0 in the axis() without success. Can anyone have a suggestion? axis(2,at=1:50,labels=paste('a',1:50,sep=''),las=2,cex.axis=0.5,adj=0,tck=0,mgp=c(3,0.5,0)) Thanks

Dear all, I am trying to plot some data with differing range in y-values with type="b", adding error bars and break the y-axis into two parts, one lower part from 12 to 20, and one upper part from 34 to 40. I have tried to follow the basic ideas from the script provided here by Jim Lemon: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/56487.html My attempt looks like this:

Hello, I am trying to use mgp.axis labels to locate the x-xis at a different distance from the one specified for the y-axis. I know I could use other functions such as mtext or axis. But I am curious to know about how to use 'mgp'axis.labels' from the Hmisc package. I tried following the example in the documentation without success. Sample code: x<-1:10 y<-1:10

Hi, I'am trying to make a multiple bar plot over a map and I'm having difficulties with the distance between axes labels and the axis. Trying to control this with mgp does not help because it controls both axes simultaneously. For example, with default values (mgp = c(3, 1, 0)) y-axis labels are ok, but x-axis labels are not. Setting mgp = c(3, 0, 0) gives good x-axis labels but the

hello mailing list! i still consider myself an R beginner, so please bear with me if my questions seems strange. i'm in the field of biology, and have done consecutive hydraulic conductivity measurements in three parallels ("Sample"), resulting in three sets of conductivity values ("PLC" for percent loss of conductivity, relative to 100%) at multiple pressures

Hi, I have created a plot using filled.contour() and have the problem that one of the axis titles and an axis label are overlapping. I have tried changing par()$mgp (with, e.g. par(mgp=c(4,1,0)) ), but this just makes the title go off the screen. I can't work out how to make the plot take up less space in the window, so I can hopefully change mgp and sort the problem. Is changing mgp the only
