similar to: mtext and srt

I seem to remember this coming up before, but I can't find it any messages I've saved or in the archives (searching by subject). I want to rotate mtext so that it's perpendicular to the right side. I tried srt=90 and lots of other values, but it seems to be ignored. Is there a way to do this? ______________________________________________________________________ Stuart Luppescu

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

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, 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.

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

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.

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,

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

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 have a simple barplot that looks fine in the R graphics device window. However when I export it to png I am losing the x-label. It must be an obvious problem but I cannot see it.

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

How can I look up the aspect ratio of a plot, so I can use that to correctly adjust the angle of text which is supposed to be parallel to a line in the plot? The following example code works for a 1:1 aspect ratio, but puts the text at the wrong angle if the plot region is short and wide or tall and narrow. I can't find a par() component containing the plot aspect ratio. It will be for

Hello, everybody: I'm back to share a long piece of example code. Because I had trouble understanding the role of par() and margins when customizing barplots, I have struggled with this example. In case you are a student wanting to place legends or textual markers in the outer regions of a barplot, you might run these examples. There are a few little things I don't quite understand.

Just wondering: it appears that "srt" does not accept a vector of values, just a single value. I ended up using tapply() as the following code snippet shows, so it's not a major problem. I was justa little surprised that this argument (srt) differs from things like "labels," "lty," "col," and so on, all of which accept (and recycle as needed

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:

Dear R-help team I have tried hard to turn my Y axis 90 degrees, so that it is written horizontally, and placing it above the Y axis, but I did not succeed. I have tried to adapt the following functions: - plot() - title() - mtext() And some more that did not prove to be useful (e.g. text() etc). The closest I got to my aim was with mtext(): mtext("Yield

Hello, I am trying to create a stripchart for my data, where y axis labels are characters (ie,names of cities). I would like to change the orientation of the y - axis labels, ie perpendicular to y axis. Below is the code i am using: par(srt=90) with(ozone.ne.trim, stripchart(Median~City,main = "stripchart(ozone)")) The par option doesn't seem to working. Kindly help. Thanks
