similar to: Fonts and Line widths in boxplot

Hi All R guru's, A couple of simple questions which I cannot find answers to in "an introduction to R" or in the reference manuals. I am running R on Win95, and have plotted up quite a nice box and whisker plot: char<-read.table("n:/reddinm/grifpr~1/survey/char.txt") attach(char) boxplot(Al,Fe,OC,pH, range=0,xaxis=FALSE, ylab="Proportion of Unirigated

Hi All, I am preparing a few plots for publication. Unfortunately the journal requires figures to have all text in a sans serif fonts. I realise that there is support for the use of Hershey vector fonts in the function TEXT, but how do I get the text on axes to be sans serif? For example, the labels and axis values produced from this line of code: plot(SolPC, SorbPC, ylab="Sorbed P

HI All, I am trying to analyse the results of a heap of samples, to determine how many samples are required to meet a defined confidence interval. I checked out the R manual for bootstrapping and re-sampling methods, but did not find anything. Are there any contributed procedures that deal with this? thanks, Matt Redding Soil Scientist Intensive Livestock Environmental Management-Research

HI There, I was wondering if there was a procedure in R for carrying out greenhhouse geiser type repeated measures analysis and ante-dependence testing? I've checked out the nicely written manuals, but it seems to lack an entry in the index (maybe because this technique has not been implemented yet). THanks, Matt Redding Soil Scientist Intensive Livestock Environmental Management-Research

Hi R Gurus, I am more or less a beginner with R. I have searched your FAQ, manuals, and the archives of this list for an answer to this question, unsuccessfully. I commonly do analysis of chemical characteristics of soils, by depth intervals (e.g. 0-100 mm, 100-200, 200-300, etc), comparing two soil profiles that have received some treatment (effluent). In Genstat I can handle this problem

Hi R Gurus, I have a question that some of you may have dealt with before. I would redirect output to the clipboard, rather than to the screen. Is this possible? Is a function already written for it, or is it just an option in print? Any help would be appreciated. Also, thanks to all those who have helped develop this great software, or who make the effort here to support the user-base.

Hi All, I've been trawling through the documentation and listserv archives on this topic -- but as yet have not found a solution. I'm sure this is pretty simple with R, but I cannot work out how without resorting to ugly nested loops. As far as I can tell, grep, match, and %in% are not the correct tools. Question: given these vectors -- patrn <- c(1,2,3,4) exmpl <-

Hi R Gurus, I want to change the size and shape of the plot region, but cannot work out how to use the arguments pin and fin in the par() function e.g. : par(lwd=1.5, font=1, mfrow=c(2,1), pty="m", plt=c(.1,.9, 0.1,.9), mar=c(1,4,0.1,0.1) pin=c(6,12)) this gives me a syntax error associated with pin. How should I be using these arguments? Thanks, Matt Redding

HI All R Gurus, Please reply directly to this email if you have a suggestion, as I am not currently an R-help member. I would like to complete a non-linear regression with groups. Having gone down the path of completing such things under GENSTAT, I would prefer to do it with R. My example data set is... TimeTreat ExtrVol2 SorbedT ET1 39.5 384.5 ET1

Dear R-experts, I have 28 data points that I would like to fit with a non linear broken-stick -- with three fitted parameters. When I view trace -- and use the final values as lines on the graph of data -- it looks pretty good. Q1. Why am I getting singular convergeance? Q2. Can you suggest another approach that may prove more satisfying? I have read previous examples on nls and this sort of

Thanks for your help with this behaviour. I have tried a few other things, and it looks like it is an issue of using the clipboard to copy it in rather than saving to a file then copying. A bit odd, but maybe nothing to do with R! Matt Redding -----Original Message----- From: Redding, Matthew Sent: Saturday, 10 January 2004 2:09 PM To: 'Prof Brian Ripley' Subject: RE: [R] Letter

Is there a way to handle the widths of values being written to a file using wrtite.fwf() ? For example, I used read.fwf(file, width.vector) to read a file. After making the necessary data manipulation, I want to write the data to a new file in the same width.vector format. Is there a way to specify this? Thanks in Advance Aparna [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear List, Sorry, this is very simple but I can't seem to find any information regarding line widths of plotting symbols in the lattice package. For instance, in traditional graphics: > plot(1:10,lwd=3) > points(10:1,lwd=2,col=3) 'lwd' allows control of plotting symbol line widths. I've tried looking through the documentation for xyplot, panel.points, trellis.par.set,

Full_Name: Tom Short Version: 1.9.1 OS: Win2000 & Debian Submission from: (NULL) (64.65.255.41) WISHLIST: axis() has a default parameter of "lwd = 1". I want skinnier lines as the default. If I change the default lty, it doesn't change what axis uses. The following code produces a graph with a box around it, but the axis lines are twice as thick as the box around the plot, so

Is the width= parameter in barplot() supposed to work? I couldn't get it to work in my plot, and even in the example, data(VADeaths, package = "base") barplot(VADeaths, width=rep(0.1, 4)) the plot looks identical regardless of what I put in for the width. I looked at the source for barplot() and it looks like it SHOULD work (but what do I know). Am I doing something wrong?

Hello, I have tried to change the margin widths so that mtext (here "sd of consecutive pc intervals", look at the picture) and plot(...,xlab="bar") fits to the picture. Here is an example: http://users.utu.fi/attenka/margins.png This doesn't help: par(mar=c(5.1, 7.1, 4.1, 2.1)) And here are the commands: png(filename="/Users/kone/Vaitostutkimus/Pictures/

I'm an R beginner, and I would like to construct a set of boxplots showing database function runtimes. The data I have is currently is in the following format: function1,12.5,13.11,35.2,11.1.....n function2,21.5,42.22,17.3,14.2....................n ... this is the function name followed by somewhere between 1 and 10,000 runtimes for each function. The number of runtimes is in

Hi! (a complete newby, but will not give up easily!) I was wondering if there is any way to decouple the axis and tick mark widths? As I understand they are both controlled by the lwd setting, and cannot be controlled independently? For example I might want to create major and minor ticks, which I now know how to do by superimposing two axes with different at settings, but what if I also wanted

I am trying to generate a graphic with a matrix of 9 line graphs (3 rows, 3 columns), all with the same y-axis range, and only showing the y-axis labels and title at the left edge of each row of the matrix. I have been trying to use the widths argument in layout to specify a larger column width in the left column so that I have room for the y-axis labels and title, but I get the following error:

Hello R users, I'm using xyplot (lattice) to plot some data. Unfortunately, the text that goes into each strip is often too big to fit. For instance, one of the factors may be labelled "Satisfaction with waiting time" which is too wide to fit. If I use split.string() to wrap it onto two lines it is then too high to fit in the strip. I'd prefer to apply split.string on the
