Hi Jinsong, Maybe "srt" will do what you want. As you noted non-orthogonal rotations may not work on some devices. You may be able to download mirror fonts from places like fontmirror.com, but it more complicated.

Also see the "arctext" function in the plotrix package. Jim On Fri, Mar 31, 2023 at 11:12?AM Jim Lemon <drjimlemon at gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Jinsong, > Maybe "srt" will do what you want.

Dear all, I stumbled over a problem recently when trying to use srt with text() on a windows device. What I intended to do was to plot a simple regression line, and to rotate a piece of text such that the text has the same angle as the regression line. However, the text is always plotted in a slightly wrong angle: #### x=1:10 #create arbitrary x and y values y=x*2-rnorm(1:10)

Rotated text for axis labels should be possible with one of par(srt=90) axis(1,at,labels) par(srt=0) or axis(1,at,labels,srt=90) (or similar with crt instead of srt) None of these works in pre0.65 or in 0.64.2 _ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.7 arch sparc os solaris2.7 system sparc,

I'm trying to format text on a plot such that the string is vertical but the letters are horizonal. I tried text(1,1,label="output", srt=270) This gives the string rotation I want, but that rotates the entire "output" so the letters are also rotated. I've also tried text(1,1,label="output", srt=270, crt=270) to no avail. par()$crt doesn't seem to affect

hi all, in R, what's the best way to have a rotated ylab in a graph plotted with either xyplot or xYplot? I tried this but it didn't work. xyplot(y~x,data.frame(x=1:10,y=runif(10)),ylab=list(srt=90,crt=90,rot=90,label="my label")) more generally, how do you output a text at an angle in a lattice graph? what would be a good reference for R lattice graphics? I need more

Hi there, In the following example, sd() can be applied to a character vector. However, mean() can not be run in a similar way. Why? I have read sd() man page, however, I don't find information about that behavior. > x <- as.character(1:10) > sd(x) [1] 3.02765 > mean(x) [1] NA Warning message: In mean.default(x) : argument is not numeric or logical: returning NA Regards,

Hi, I would like to place a line (tilted at an angle) in the margin of an R plot. Is there any way to place such an annotation outside the plotting area? As an alternative, being able to plot a rotated character (the pipe, |) in the margin would be sufficient. The problem is that mtext doesn't work with the srt option. As a further alternative, if I could put a legend in the margin, I

Hi there, I am a Chinese R user. I hope to display Chinese character in a plot, and than save it in PostScript format. I have read the article titled "Non-Standard Fonts in PostScript and PDF Graphics", especially the section about CJK fonts. I also tried the code: > pdf("chinese.pdf", width=3, height=1) > grid.text("\u4F60\u597D", y=2/3,

Hi there, I don't know why the following codes are return different results. > ifelse(3 > 2, 1:3, length(1:3)) [1] 1 > if (3 > 2) 1:3 else length(1:3) [1] 1 2 3 Any hints? Best, Jinsong

Hi, This is not a bug, but an enhancement suggestion. "strwidth" only gives the width of the text according to the x-axis user coordinates, and similarly for "strheight". Even if the par setting "srt" is changed to rotate the text, the resulting width (resp. height) is in terms of the non-rotated text. Currently, if I want to know how much space to leave for

Anybody know how to rotate shapes generated with the 'points' function? I'm trying to place points around a radial diagram such that the y-axis of individual shapes are oriented with the radii of the circle rather than the y-axis of the larger plot area. Perhaps something analogous to the 'srt' and 'crt' functions for text that appear under 'par'?

It looks like an encoding problem. It works fine for me with R encoding set to UTF-8 Here is part of my sessionInfo() results [1] LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_CA.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_CA.UTF-8 I would suggest issuing the command sessionInfo() and seeing what your encoding is.

I searched the forms (i.e., R Search)?and come up with the following suggested link: ?http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f I tried to implement what I believe was being implied by that URL and came up with the below: barplot(WorldPhones[1,], ??????? ylim=c(0, 50000), ??????? axes=FALSE, ann=FALSE, ???????

Hi, while searching for a solution i found many solutions in the internet. But the postings seemed to be many years old and the workaround was a dirty hack like this: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f Now its the year 2009 and there might have been some improvement... Does anyone know a nice and easy way to turn labels on the y axis in the

Hi there, According to ?par, 'font' is an integer which specifies which font to use for text, that 1 corresponds to plain text (the default), 2 to bold face, 3 to italic and 4 to bold italic. When I test Chinese character in pdf(), I found that 1 to bold face, 2 to italic, 3 to bold italic, 4 to symbol. and I don't find how to set plain text. In the following code, the font to use

Dear listserv, Here is my latest formatting problem. I would like to rotate the x-axis labels by 45 degrees on a _barplot_. Apparently this is slightly different from the example given in the R FAQ, which is for rotating the x-axis labels on a scatterplot (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f). I have adapted that code, as best I could, and

Here is a question from an old guy: I want to use the boxplot function as follows: boxplot( p.prop ~ R + bins ) This command makes nice boxplot for the factor "R" crossed with the factor "bins". I am having alot of trouble getting control of the labels on the X axis. I want to control it more by specifying what the labels are, controling the 'size' of those

Hi there, I tried to export the names of country to a csv file with write.csv(). In the resulted file, ?land was coverted to <c5>land. Is there any way could prevent this happening? Thanks! > abc [1] "?land" > write.table(abc, file = "") "x" "1" "<c5>land" Best, Jinsong
