Hi Team, I'm on a mac, 0SX 10.5.6, R 2.7.2. I consistently make pairs plots and use mtext() to put labels on top of the plot in the outer margin. All of a sudden, this text has become really grainy in the final product and is making huge files. I have no idea why this has just started happening. The only thing I've done lately is install the new version of GIMP and run the script to

is there a way to hide/undraw mtext (or lines etc.) in a loop like plot(runif(10)) iterCol <- rainbowPalette(10) for(i in 1:10){ mtext(paste("this is iteration ", i, sep="")) points(runif(10),col=iterCol[i]) Sys.sleep(1) ## UNDRAW/HIDE the text so that it does not mess up the plot in the next iteration } -- View this message in context:

Is there some way to make mtext horizontal along the vertical axis? Can I use mtext numerous times for one graph (created using symbols(...)) so that at the right of each graph there is a list of numbers along the axis? I have two graphs on the same page and would like to have a list of identifying numbers next to each circle of the graph. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Thanks, K

Hello list. Is it possible to use par(srt=45) to rotate text by 45 degrees along the x-axis of a plot. Using: <code> x_names<-c("C57 Nv", "C57 Vacc", "129 Nv", "129 Vacc", "IFNgR Nv", "IFNgR Vacc") par(srt=45) mtext(font=2, x_names, side=1, line=1, at=l, cex=1.2) par(srt=0) </code> doesn't seem to work in R 2.2.0

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

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'm finding that when I execute the following bit of code, that the new line argument is actually displayed as text in the graphics device. How do I avoid this happening? mtext(side=2, line=5.5, expression(paste("Monthly Summed Runoff (mm/month)", "/n", "and Summed Monthly Precipitation (mm x ",10^2,"/month)"))) I suspect that I've

Dear list I am experiencing a very annoying problem with mtext, although I have been using this command for many years. The following code prints "test" twice in the outer margin, once at .7 where it should be, and once at the bottom somewhere. I also notice that the command takes longer than normal to execute, and it seems to overprint many times. Can anyone reproduce this?

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.

mtext(..., outer = TRUE) does not seem to center the text in the outer margins as it did previously. Reproduce with example(plot.profile.nls, package = "nls") On versions of the development sources before November 17 this produced main and subtitles that were centered horizontally on the page. After that the main title (from mtext("..", side = 3, outer = TRUE)) is centered

Is there a way of controlling the font size and alignment of a footnote in an xyplot, or alternatively of using 'mtext' to place a footnote at the bottom of a graph? --Rich Richard Kittler Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Sunnyvale, CA

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've got some image plots on which I'd like to include some gene information (in the margins using mtext). Unfortunately, the description is rather long and will need to be wrapped to fit on several lines. From what I know about mtext, it's really only meant for single-line labels, not paragraphs. Here's some sample code of the idea I'm trying to accomplish:

Hello, I wish to write a label to the right-hand side of a plot (side=4) using mtext, with the text facing inwards - that is, rotated 180 degrees from the default orientation. How might I do this?

Hi everyone, I suspect this is an easy task however I've not been able to accomplish it. I'd like to create an mtext title which has certain words bold, the rest not bold. So far I've been able to create one which is all bold, one which is all not bold and one which has bold and not bold superimposed on one another. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Many thanks, Joe Retzer # Not

Hi, Using tab spaces in mtext e.g. > mtext("\t") little squares are plotted. Is there a way to use "\t" without getting squares displayed? Thanks Thomas [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
