similar to: how can I get a layout like in pairs()?

I propose the following small changes to pairs.default. The point is to allow control of the outer margin settings, so that there is for example room for legends. [Note also the issue re the setting of par()$usr on exit] ---------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Replace function (x, labels, panel = points, main = NULL, font.main = par("font.main"),

Unlike R 2.1.1, version 2.2.0 generates warnings when an 'oma' argument as passed to pairs(): A <- rnorm(100) B <- rnorm(100) pairs(cbind(A,B)) # no warning pairs(cbind(A,B), oma=c(6,8,10,12)) # warnings in R 2.2.0 I think pairs() should draw the plot quietly, without warnings. Can't see anything in the documentation indicating that an

The code I'm using is shown below. I would like to have a larger median at the top of the plot so that I can show the entirity of "title_text". Several times I tried messing with "par(mar", but that seemed to make matters worse. By any chance can anyone provide any insight as to the best way to increase the top/upper/northern margin, so the entirity of the title is

Dear R-users, I would like to add a legend at the bottom of pairs plots (it's my first use of this function). With the plot function, I usually add some additional space at the bottom when I define the size of the graphical device (using mar); grid functions then allows me to draw my legend as I want. Unfortunatley, this technique does not seem to work with the pairs function as the

dev.new(width=6, height=1.5,mar=c(0,0,0,0)) par(mfrow=c(1,1),mar=c(.5, .5, 1.5, .5), oma=c(.4, 0,.5, 0)) barplot(c(1,1,1,1,1,1),col=c("blue","purple","red","green","orange","yellow"), axes = FALSE) I have a barplot that returns six colors in a line. I would like to get the same six color blocks in a hexagram layout (if it were a clock,

Hello, I am trying to wrap my head around the coordinates systems associated with the layout() function ...with the end goal of simply drawing a decorative line in the upper margin of my figure, which is composed of three plots. My output is defined as this: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- postscript("out.ps", horizontal=FALSE,

Hey Felix, So basically what you want is a figure containing a block of four plots, with a main title for the figure? If that's the case then something like this should work: # BEGIN CODE # par(oma=c(0,0,1,0), mfrow=c(2,2)) for(i in 1:4){ plot(NA,xlim=range(0,10),ylim=range(-5,5)) title(paste("Plot ",i,sep="")) } par(mfrow=c(1,1), oma=c(0,0,1,0)) mtext("Main

I want to add an outer subtitle to my 2x3-plot, but it's distance to the lowest plots is very high: 6 lines or more?! If I choose oma=c(5,0,2,0), it lies out of the plotting region and disapprears. Obviously I make something wrong here. Help appreciated, Thomas x=seq(from=1, to=3.5, length=100) par(mfrow = c(2, 3), oma=c(6,0,2,0)) ## oma=c(5,0,2,0) will not work?! plot(x,x^2) plot(x,sin(x))

Hola a todos, en efecto, lo crucial es el new, he utilizado estas líneas para mi código: par(new=T, mfrow=c(1,1), mar=c(0,4,2,2), oma=c(1,1,0,1)) plot(-1,type="n",axes=F,xlab='',ylab='')

Hi, I have been trying many of the suggested options to place a legend outside plotting area, including something like this: par(xpd=T, oma=par()$oma+c(4.5,0,1.5,0),mar=par()$mar+c(1,0,1,0) But the aspect of the four plots gets compromised when I change the margin settings. I cannot use mtext because I need to use colors for the text. I tried layout, but wouldn't let me include

Hello, R-help, Although this is my first post to the mailing list, I have been a subscriber for a while now, and have found all of the posts to be very informative in my quest to attempt to master R. Thank you for that in advance. This question involves the use of the par() variables pin, oma, and mar to resize "sub-plots" in an output window. I am aware from ?plot that the use of

Hello, I have a barplot where each row has quite long texts and I have used "par" to make some room in the left: par(mar=c(0, 17, 3, 0), oma=c(0, 0, 0, 0)) barplot2(prueba, main = l, col=colores, horiz=TRUE,las=1, cex.names=.7) My problem is that main text appears justified to the plot. I want to put it in the middle of the image, and find a way to sort it out with mtex par(mar=c(0,

I want to put multiple plots on a page using par(mfrow), then a single title at the top. This should work, but doesn't: R> par(oma=c(0,0,4,0), mfrow=c(3,4)) R> for (i in 1:12) {plot(1); title(i)} R> ## text(10,10, ".") R> par(mfrow=c(1,1), oma=c(0,0,1,0)) R> title("Main Title") The main title does not appear. However, uncommenting the third line

I've tried several different ways to accomplish this, but as yet to no avail. My y-axis for a plot has a rather long label, and thus I have been using "/n" to break it into two lines. However, to make it technically correct for publication, I also need to use superscript in the label. For example: par(oma=c(0,0,2,0),mar=c(5,6,0.25,2),lheight=1) plot(1:10,

Hi r-users, I would like to overlap 2 ecdf plots.  I tried this below and it gives me two plots of ecdf but just both just in black. par(mar=c(4,4,2,1.2),oma=c(0,0,0,0),xaxs="i", yaxs="i") plot(ecdf(datobs)) lines(ecdf(gam_sum_gen)) Then I try to add colors etc and also the legend but fail. par(mar=c(4,4,2,1.2),oma=c(0,0,0,0),xaxs="i", yaxs="i")

Dear R-users: I asked a question on how I can have a universal legend in a plot and received the following result. I tried using "layout" but I can't seem to work on the "empty" plot (where I have to have the legend). I tried "oma" but I couldn't improve the quality of the plot, and that I didn't know how to specify all the line types using the

Hi all, I have a basic question concerning graphs in R. I?m using the par() function and I?m working with multiple figures by row (mfrow) but my the hight of my figures become compressed. I have 4 rows and 2 columns (because I want to plot 8 histograms (freq = FALSE ) on it. I know I can adapt my margins with for example ?oma? and ?mai? but I don?t know how to choose the size of the figure? I

It seems that there is a problem in displaying subtitle in general, independently from multi-plot display. when I do plot (c(1,2,3), c(9,8,7), type = "l") title(main = "Main title", sub ="Sub title",cex.main=2, cex.sub = 2) subtitle doesn't get displayed > --- On Sat, 11/21/09, David Winsemius <dwinsemius at comcast.net> > wrote: >

Dear R users, Using xyplot(), how can I position the key in the *margin* outside the plotting area ? My problem is that the key always overlaps with the x axis labels, no matter how I try to specify any of the par() arguments (e.g. oma()). Many thanks for any suggestions! Christoph ### for information, here??s the code I use par(oma=c(0,0,3,0)) ###this, I think, is what should be changed

Hello all, I found a funny problem with y-axis labels when plotting acf(matrix) - the labels are too close to one of the margins and cut in half. Here's the problem: test<-matrix(rnorm(200),ncol=4) acf(test) This doesn't fix the problem: test<-matrix(rnorm(200),ncol=4) par(mar=c(3,3,2,0.2),oma=c(0,0,0,0)) acf(test) This does fix the margin. I understand why, but not sure why ONLY
