Hello, I'm trying to add a symbol (Delta) to plot legend with text using "expression(paste())" but this disables the text.font that allows to use bold or italic text. as follows: x=c(1:10) y=c(1:10) plot(x,y) legend(1,10,legend=c("A","B","C",expression(paste(Delta, D))), pch=c(24,18,17,16),cex=2,text.font=3,bty="n") Any suggestion to

Hi, I'd like to make the text in my legends italic, but I can't figure out how to do so. font=3 doesn't work. Googling brings up the possibility of expression(italic()), which produces italics, but I can't get this to work with my label data, which is a vector of strings: legend(locator(1), legend = levels(factor(label.vector)), col = plotting.colours, pch =plotsym.bw,

Hello, I want to plot 6 line graphs. I have 10 points 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9 and 1.0. At each point say 0.1, I have 6 variables A, B, C, D, E and F. The variables all have values between 0 and 1 (and including 0 and 1). I also want to label the x axis from 0.1 to 1.0 and the y axis from 0.1 to 1.0. My goal is to plot a line graph representing the mean of the variables at each

Dear List, I am trying to plot a color.legend() in the right outer margin of my device region. I have read multiple threads on the subject and still can't get it right. I have stolen an example from one of the threads to demonstrate my problem. I have extended the outer margin using par(oma()), and have used par(xpd=NA) to tell it to plot in the device region. I can get the legend to plot

I am making final adjustments to a multi-plot figure using basic and lattice. In the lattice plot, I would like to include a legend that matches the format of the legends in the other plots, which consist of appropriately colored squares (pch 22) followed by text. In lattice, I was able to get a legend using auto.key = list(x = .6, y = .6, corner = c(0, 0), pch=22) but my request for pch=22 was

Hello, I need to change the font for one of the items (C. elegans) in my legend to italic. Can someone suggest how to accomplish this? legend('bottomright', bty='n', c('C. elegans range', 'Study area'), cex=0.8, fill=c('light gray', 'white'), border=c('black','black')) I tried using lab.font=c(1,3) but R ignored and did not write

Hi, As part of the legend to a plot, I need to have the "n" in italics because it is a requirement of the journal I aim to publish in: "This study, n = 3293" Presently I have: legend(20, 105, "This study, n = 3293", pch=1, col=rgb(0,0,0,0.5), pt.cex=0.3, cex=0.8, bty="n") I suppose I could leave a blank in place of the "n",

I have a simple barplot of 4 mean values, each mean value has an associated 95% confidence interval drawn on the plot as an error bar. I want to make a legend on the plot that uses the error bar symbol, and explains "95% C.I." How do I show the error bar symbol in the legend? I could not find any "pch" values that are appropriate Thanks [[alternative HTML version

Hello everybody, Is it possible to coax legend() into displaying more than one simbol per line in legend? I have a graph like the one attached to this mail; I would like to reorganize the legend in such a way that the duplicate text would be omitted, i.e., the first line would read <square> <triangledown> "increasing frequency" and the second one would read <circle>

Does anybody know how to produce a East-European character "??" - "c with a v-shaped hat " in R (in text or plot)? I do know how to get "??,??" - "s,z, with a v-shaped hat", but not this one. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Ales Ziberna P.S.: I am using Windows XP and R version 1.9.1 (details below) $platform [1]

Thank you for providing advice on this graphics question. I am building an interaction.plot. d=data.frame(xx=c(3,3,2,2,1,1),yy=c(4,3,4,3,4,3),zz=c(5.1,4.2,4.4,3.5,3.3,-1.1,-1.3) d[[1]]<-as.factor(d[[1]]) d[[2]]<-as.factor(d[[2]]) print(d) interaction.plot(d$xx, d$yy, d$zz, type="b", col=c("red","blue"), legend=F, lty=c(1,2), lwd=2, pch=c(18,24),

Does anybody know how in xyplot to put the legend title on one line with the legend? I can get the legend on one line with columns=... but the title is always on top. I tried a custom key with key=... and text=... but I can't put the title text in front of the plotting symbol. I am looking for the following layout of the legend, on one line: "Legend Title:" + plot symbol1 + legend

Dear r-help members. I would like to: a) control the margin around my legend box. Unfortunately I did not find an appropriate command under "?legend". The margin around the actual legend is way too wide. There is a lot of unnecessary "empty space" on the right side. b) increase the width of the individual barplots. I saw that this can be obtained with the command

Hi folks, can anybody give me a hint how to solve the following problem? I have several plots in one window like this: layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4), nrow = 2, byrow = TRUE)) plot(rnorm(100)) plot(rnorm(200)) plot(rnorm(300)) plot(rnorm(400)) Now, I'd like to create a legend below each plot and generate a common title. How can I do that? Antje

Hello there, Is there any way to italicize Greek symbols such as mu in axis? From the help files of mathematical anotations: "Note that bold, italic and bolditalic do not apply to symbols, and hence not to the Greek symbols such as mu which are displayed in the symbol font. They also do not apply to numeric constants.", it seems that it cannot be done. Thanks, Bingzhang Chen

Hello, I'd like to ask, how to adjust the space between symbol/line and text in a legend. My legend() is build like that legend(xmax-netzdiff/11, # shouldn't matter here ifelse(ydiff>=0, # ymin-6.5*(netzdiff/11), # ymax-netzdiff/11), # c("stehender Stamm","Windwurf",

Dear Gurus, R 2.11.1 on Windows XP. This is a problem in interaction between R and pdftex. I need to generate a plot with both open and filled circles. It is simple enough, using pch=1 and pch=16. The R pdf graphics output is going into pdftex 1.40.10 (MikTeX 2.8). The R pdf is correct when viewed in other viewers. However, pdftex fills the open circles. I can work around this problem by

I am creating a CDF plot function more user-friendly than any default r function. Depending upon the bimodality of the data (it is often bimodal), or any other strange data trends, the points can end up gathering in just about any corner of the plot. So, when I add a legend, whether I choose to add it in the bottom right, top left, or wherever, it will sometimes end up putting the legend right

I could not find a way to specify the border color of the boxes drawn in a legend, so that the legend can match exactly the colors of the actual plot (e.g. in the case of two superimposed histograms which have different shading and different borders). Indeed, the legend function seems to hard code the color "black" for the borders in this call: rect2(left = xt, top = yt +

I am testing out the grid-plots, but get into a problem making a legend. I have a line plot and some points, following the model in grid.plot.and.legend() i manage to get the points correctly in the legend, but what do I do with the line? (Of cource, I can just draw a line at the right location on the plot, but I would prefer to use legend) Morten -- Morten Sickel Norwegian Radiation
