similar to: How to add a common title (or xlab, ylab) for multi-plots in the same window?

I want to place four plots on a page, and I would like to have all four plots share a common title. I have tried the following code, but the title is centered over the fourth graph and not centered across all four plots. Does anyone have any suggestions? R 2.1.1 windows xp oldpar<-par(mfcol =c(1,4),ask=TRUE) plot(p,varp) plot(p,SEp) plot(p,CVp) plot(p,ppval) title(paste("P and 95%CI

Hey Felix, So basically what you want is a figure containing a block of four plots, with a main title for the figure? If that's the case then something like this should work: # BEGIN CODE # par(oma=c(0,0,1,0), mfrow=c(2,2)) for(i in 1:4){ plot(NA,xlim=range(0,10),ylim=range(-5,5)) title(paste("Plot ",i,sep="")) } par(mfrow=c(1,1), oma=c(0,0,1,0)) mtext("Main

Hello! I would plot more than 10 (this number is always different) graphics on a figure with layout like 'mfrow=c(4,2)'. There is some existing function able to open the right number of device if number of graphics is done or I have to build it myself with some 'IF.....ELSE.....'? Thanks. A.S. ----------------------------

R 2.15.1 OS X (MLion) Colleagues, I am aware that changes in mfrow / mfcol in par() affect cex (from help: In a layout with exactly two rows and columns the base value of ?"cex"? is reduced by a factor of 0.83: if there are three or more of either rows or columns, the reduction factor is 0.66). I generate a multipage PDF in which mfrow varies such that cex is impacted. This affect

Hi, I created several figures and their titles should appear like this: Figure 1: Monte Carlo results for alternative estimators of structural parameters (N = 100, T = 5) Because N and T change across figures, my code includes the following lines: N.set <- 100 T.set <- 5 mtext(“Figure 1: Monte Carlo results for alternative estimators of structural

Dear helpers, I'm using a R script on several different datasets, which makes that axis scales may vary quite a lot from dataset to dataset. So what I'm looking for now, is how to automagically find out how to position the legend (horizontal) in the space below the x-axis title, and how to make sure that the legend is within the limits of the lower inner or outer margin? I'm aware of

Dear r-helpers, In basic graphics, I have a figure with x and y axes suppresed. I would like to move the xlab and the ylab closer to the axes. Do I have to use mtext()? _____________________________ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology USPS: P.O.Box 400400 Charlottesville, VA 22904-4400 Parcels: Room 102 Gilmer Hall McCormick Road

Hi, I am trying to output pdf files with 8 graphs per page. My current study has 8 evaluation criteria, and 38 study conditions. This would result in 38 pages of 8 graphs. I have figured out how to get the graphs looking like I would like them, and I am using the layout() function to put them on the page, as that allows me the control I would like over the appearance of the individual plots.

Hello! I want to display four xyplots in the same window (sorry if I don't use the propers words, but my English is rude) I know that if I use plot(y~x) then x=(1:100) y=(1:100) par(mfrow=c(2,2)) plot(y~x) plot(y~x) plot(y~x) plot(y~x) would give what I want, but this is not the case because I need the functions of xyplot. So I did the following: plot.new()

Dear All, I have a data frame with n columns: X1, X2, ., Xn. Now I want to create a new column: if X1 = X2 = . = Xn, the value is 1; Otherwise, the value is 0. How to do that in a quick way instead of doing (n choose 2) comparisons? Thank you, Frank [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

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,

Dear R experts, I am trying to save three plots using tiff graphics devices; however the following code only produces two files (Rplot002.tif and Rplot003.tif) showing figures 1 and 3. Here is a simplified ex code tiff(filename ="Rplot%03d.tif",width=24,height=20,units="cm",res=300, pointsize=10, compression = "lzw") plot(1) mtext("Fig

I have been trying to draw histogram for my manscript and found some strange things that I could not figure out why. Using the same code listed below I have successfully draw histograms for a few figures with fraction labeled on Y axis less than 1 (acturally between 0 to 0.1). But one dataset gives the Y axis label 0 to 5 as fraction. This is not true, as fraction are less than 1, although the

Hi all, I have a basic question concerning graphs in R. I?m using the par() function and I?m working with multiple figures by row (mfrow) but my the hight of my figures become compressed. I have 4 rows and 2 columns (because I want to plot 8 histograms (freq = FALSE ) on it. I know I can adapt my margins with for example ?oma? and ?mai? but I don?t know how to choose the size of the figure? I

Any idea why I can no longer plot two graphs on the same graphics device using the par(fig=) parameter? A simpler par(mfrow=c(1,2)) does work, showing the two plots side-by-side, but I would like the first to be larger. This simple example fails: x<-c(1,1,NA,2,2,NA,3,3) y<-c(2,4,NA,3,5,NA,1,4) par(fig=c(0,2/3,0,1)) plot(x,y) par(fig=c(2/3,1,0,1)) qqnorm(x) When plotted, the last

Hi R People: Here is a simple set of commands: >x1 <- 1:10 >x2 <- sqrt(x1) >plot(x1) >points(x2,col="red",pch=3) >legend(2,8,legend=c("First","Second"),col=c("black","red"),pch=c(1,3)) > Fine. Now, I would like to put the legend box on the outside of the plot itself, perhaps in the lower left hand corner. I've been

Dear R-users: I asked a question on how I can have a universal legend in a plot and received the following result. I tried using "layout" but I can't seem to work on the "empty" plot (where I have to have the legend). I tried "oma" but I couldn't improve the quality of the plot, and that I didn't know how to specify all the line types using the

Dear List, I would like to add captions to a set of graphics. The graphs are each composed of two scatter plots in an upper and lower pane. I'd like to add a caption below the lower pane. The troubel I'm hitting is that in order to fit the caption using mtext, I must increase the margins for both panes-- these shrinks my plots considerably and leaves a big blank area. The second trouble

Dear All, I am sorry if this question has been asked before. Below is my Question: I want to put several plots in the same window, but I don?t want the blank space between plots (like par(mfrow=)) --- that makes the plots too small. Could anyone tell me how to do it? Thanks a lot. Frank

Dear [R]-list, I am trying to do a pdf() of the following graphs but don't understand why the pdf() function does produce an empty pdf file. (I use R1.7.0 on MacOS 10.2.8) any idea? Is pdf() incompatible with screen? Thanks a lot, DLC ## create dataset x=rnorm(1000,10,2) y=rpois(1000,5) ## graphs pdf() par(col.main=4,omi=c(0,0,1.25,0)) split.screen(c(1,2))
