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

Dear all, I'm trying to produce 2 png files, one consisting of an image plot and a color-table (also an image plot) and the other one consisting of 4 image plots and a color table. I'd like the color table to be exactly the same. The way I proceded is the following: for one plot and the color-table png(file = png.file, width = 650, height = 800, pointsize = 16) layout(matrix(c(1, 2),

A while ago there was a thread on graphics. I complained that the plots produced by dev.print had symbols and fonts that were too small. I said I had been using par(cex=2), but the advice was to use pointsize. I have tried ps, is that what was meant? par(ps=40) x<-rnorm(100) y<-rnorm(100) dev.print(file="~/junk.ps", horizontal=FALSE) No matter how big I make ps (40,60...), the

Full_Name: Cornell Gonschior Version: 2.10.0 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (212.201.28.40) Hi, in the introduction to R, you can find the following sentence in the par() chapter: "Use tck=0.01 and mgp=c(1,-1.5,0) for internal tick marks." I thought that's nice, because I wanted to have tick marks and tick labels inside and the axis title outside. But: > plot(z, las=1,

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

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

The following code produces 6 plots on a page, but the first is distorted and different from the others: par(mfrow=c(3,2), las=2) for (i in 1:6) { frame() par(mar=c(7, 7, 1, 1)) axis(2); box(); abline(h=seq(0,1,.5), col=2:4) } The first plot's axes are mis-aligned with the plotting area implied by the box. It seems to be a result of calling par(mar) after frame(). Is this expected

This is a new problem: Old versions of R worked fine. I am not sure when it got broken. I am posting here instead of bugs in case this is not a true bug. New vanilla plots (I mean I don't fool around with par() etc) are screwed up in several ways: - the tick marks are twice as long as they should be - the gap between the end of the tick and the top of the numerical labels is twice as big as

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

I use AfterStep on Linux. I made an R.xpm file (attached) and put this icon in the "wharf". To invoke R I click on the R icon. I did not find an offical R.xpm, and so I am submitting this one for your collective consideration.... The idea behind the icon is that it looks like a scatterplot, which is "statistical". My main beefs with my R.xpm are that it doesn't have a

Hello, I am using R 2.2.1 with sn 0.4.0 and am trying to save a dns2.plot as a jpg file.

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

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
