similar to: Rotated mtext

I would like to make my horizontal barplot vertical axis labels perpendicular to the axis. I tried las=1, srt=90; I even tried yaxt='n' thinking I'd put the labels in using mtext, but the axis continued to be drawn. Can anyone help me with this? My barplot() statement looks like this: barplot(height=foo$rebint[o1], names=foo$Unit[o1], horiz=TRUE, col=mycolors[foo$type[o1]],

Hello: I am trying to get some text at an angle in the margins of a plot. I was accustomed under older versions of Splus to using srt in the mtext command, but that seems not to work under R, > version _ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch x86 os Win32 system x86, Win32 status major 1 minor 3.0

Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to change the text direction of mtext? I'd like to use 'mtext(side=2)' but the text should be 'left-to-right'. I couldn't find an argument for that in the help files. Thanks for any suggestions Tobias -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/changing-text-direction-of-mtext-tf4321931.html#a12307342 Sent from

Dear all, Our quite basic function mtext() does wrong adjustments in some parameter configurations. This gets obvious when using multi line texts: There is no way to properly adjust text perpendicular to axis 2, for example.

Hello list. Is it possible to use par(srt=45) to rotate text by 45 degrees along the x-axis of a plot. Using: <code> x_names<-c("C57 Nv", "C57 Vacc", "129 Nv", "129 Vacc", "IFNgR Nv", "IFNgR Vacc") par(srt=45) mtext(font=2, x_names, side=1, line=1, at=l, cex=1.2) par(srt=0) </code> doesn't seem to work in R 2.2.0

Hi R fans, I was trying to write some code in R when I realized that I was just writing a FORTRAN 77 style program in the R syntax, and hence coming nowhere near tapping the potential of R. I'm wondering what is a good reference that would help me get up to speed in programming in R (i.e., using these classes, methods, objects, accessor functions, and many other things I don't

I would like to make the print format of the axis value labels appear as ``nn%'' instead of just the numbers. Is there a way to do this? Also, the x axis value labels on my horizontal barplot are rotated 90 degrees (perpendicular to the axis) no matter what I do. I tried las=1 but that didn't work. Is this doable? Thanks. $platform [1] "i686-pc-linux-gnu" $arch [1]

Hello: I'm having quite a bit of difficulty adjusting the x-labels using bargraphCI. I've tried using text and srt=45 to rotate the labels or mtext for 2 lines to break up the labels. However, using either method, I cannot line up the labels with the midpoints of the bars (they line up with some sort of tick mark that is off the midpoint of the bars). Any suggestions would be greatly

Hello everyone I have problem with axis labels on graphs, I have my code as below: plot(0,0,xlim=c(1,ncol(PA)),ylim=c(1,nrow(PA)),main="Stratigraphic Range",xlab="Time Bins",ylab="Taxa",cex.axis=1.5,cex.lab=2,cex.main=2.5,mgp=c(5,1.5,0),xaxt="n") text(1:(length(strat_name)), y= 0, adj=1, srt=45,labels=strat_name,xpd=TRUE, cex=1) #adds text to x

Hi all, I have read through the archives, but can't find a solution to this problem. I need the text direction on "dependent B", plotted in margin 4, to go top to bottom (opposite what it is now). Here's some sample code: #plot with mtext example par(mgp = c(2,1,0), mfrow=c(2,2), las=1, mar=c(2,2,2,2), omi= c(0.5,0.2,0,0.2)) a<-1:10 b<-7:16 c<-21:30 plot(a~b,

I have plain-text data in lower triangular form that I want to read in. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this? ______________________________________________________________________ Stuart Luppescu -=-=- University of Chicago $(B:MJ8$HCRF`H~$NIc(B -=-=- s-luppescu at uchicago.edu http://www.consortium-chicago.org/people/sl.html http://musuko.uchicago.edu/pubkey.asc for PGP

Hello, I wish to write a label to the right-hand side of a plot (side=4) using mtext, with the text facing inwards - that is, rotated 180 degrees from the default orientation. How might I do this? (I've tried experimenting with las but no luck.) Thanks, Rashmi Rashmi Mathur Master's Candidate Fisheries Science and Management Research Group School of Resource and Environmental

I have data on every grade in all elementary schools in Chicago over 5 years. I would like to estimate a trend over time for each grade in each school. There are 17,600 data all together (about 460 schools, nearly 8 grades each, over 5 years). Is there a not-so-hard way to do this in R (I was thinking of using rlm)? ______________________________________________________________________ Stuart

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?

Is there an efficient way to do linear model selection by choosing the model with the highest BIC from all possible models? ______________________________________________________________________ Stuart Luppescu -=-=- University of Chicago $(B:MJ8$HCRF`H~$NIc(B -=-=- s-luppescu at uchicago.edu http://www.consortium-chicago.org/people/sl.html http://musuko.uchicago.edu/pubkey.asc

Full_Name: Emmanuel Paradis Version: 2.4.0 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (193.49.41.124) Adding text to a plot makes R freeze if 'srt' is given a very small negative value, eg: plot(1, type = "n") text(1, 1, "some text....", srt = -1e-8) But if 'srt = -1e-6' (or smaller) or 'srt = -1e-19' (or greater), this works. This seems to be OS-dependent:

As of a moment ago (9 a.m., Monday, Jan. 8, 2001), the S Programming book by Venables and Ripley was once again selling for 17.98 American dollars at Amazon.com. Alas, I notice that "Mixed Effects Models in S and S-Plus" by Pinheiro and Bates now lists at Amazon for 97.25 American dollars, as opposed to about $70 a little while ago.

Hello, I'm trying to read data in from a file using scan(). The last field is a character string that contains blanks. I had read it in in S-Plus using this code: ifile <- list(entry=0,measure=0,st=0,count=0,score=0, error=0,inmsq=0,instd=0,outms=0,outstd=0,displc=0,ptbis=0,a=0, r="",name="") if.widths <- c(1, 5, 8, 3, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 2,

My mind has become corrupted by having to use SAS too much. I wanted to calculate the difference of elements of two vectors if the signs are the same. I tried it the corrupted way first: if (effects1[,3] < 0 & effects0[,3] < 0) { imprv1 <- effects0[,3] - effects1[,3] } else if (effects1[,3] > 0 & effects0[,3] > 0) { imprv1 <- effects1[,3] - effects0[,3] } else {

Colors are real nice, but the publication I'm preparing these barplots for permits only black and white. The Splus plot options ``dbangle'' (or plain ``angle'') and ``density'' (as on p. 65 of MASS 1st ed.) don't seem to be available in R. Is there another way to do this? I'm running R 1.1.0 on Linux (intel). Thanks.
