similar to: how to move x-axis labels down

hello, i can't figure out how to change the vertical position of my x axis labels.. boxplot(c(1:12)~c(rep("1",6),rep("2",6)),at=c(1,2), col=c(0,"grey"),las=1,xaxt="n") ### i put paragraphs in the x-labels because of limited horizontal space axis(1,at=c(1,2),adj=1,labels=c("Salix Scrub","Tall Forb")) ...the labels are one line

Hello, I want to reduce the distance between my ticks and their labels. I managed to do it for the x-axis, but the y-axis puzzles me. Here's an example where there is no space between the x-asix ticks and labels. par(las=1) plot(runif(50), type="l",xaxt="n",yaxt="n",ylab="", bty="l") axis(2) axis(1,padj=-1.5) #However, axis(2,padj=-1.5)

Hi all, Quick question: What function can I use to draw a line in the margin of a plot? segments() and lines() both stop at the margin. In case the answer depends on exactly what I'm trying to do, see below. I'm using R v. 2.8.1 on Windows XP. Cheers, Alan I'm trying to make a horizontal barplot with a column of numbers on the right side. I'd like to put a line between the

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

hello, i try to plot 3 graphs which have the same x.axis underneath each other. i'd like the plots to be aligned without margings between the boxes and draw a single x axis beneath the lowest plot. i managed to get the alignment by setting par(mar), but the middle box is stretched and i cant't figure out how to get around this. par(pin) was my guess, but this doesn't do the job

Hi, I am trying to make my axis labels left justified, and have used adj=0 in the axis() without success. Can anyone have a suggestion? axis(2,at=1:50,labels=paste('a',1:50,sep=''),las=2,cex.axis=0.5,adj=0,tck=0,mgp=c(3,0.5,0)) Thanks

Hi, I want to plot with axis.Date(), but something is scaled incorrectly. The red vertical line in is put on a totally wrong position. (sample below) Do you have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Thx Christof x11(width=30, height=20) x<-seq(as.Date("2010-02-27"), as.Date("2011-03-28"),"month") y <- seq(0,100,length=length(x)) plot(y ~ x,

Dear R Users, I am quite surprised to see that mtext gives different results when it is used with 'pairs' and with "plot'. In the two following codes, it seems that the 'at' argument in mtext doesn't consider the same unit system. I would appreciate your comments on this issue. Sebastien ##### Pairs mydata<-data.frame(x=1:10,y=1:10) par(cex.main=1,

Dear R mailing list I would like some help on how to get R to display the same number of significant digits (?) for *all* tick marks on axis labels (yet be flexible enough to handle different data sets that vary by 10-1000X). Consider this simple example: #---------------------------# x <- seq(0,2,by=0.5) xlim <- range(pretty(x,n=5)) ylim <- xlim

Hello, I have the following problem: I created an ecdf and a barplot. Unfortunatly, the bars are not where I would like them to be (please see picture below). http://www.nabble.com/file/p12877530/problem.gif That's my code: #------------------------ par(mfrow=c(2,1), mar=c(2,3,3,2)) #ECDF x = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2) F2.5 <- ecdf(x) plot(F2.5,

Hi, I've got the following edf: *** x = c(1.6,1.8,2.4,2.7,2.9,3.3,3.4,3.4,4,5.2) F2.5 <- ecdf(x) plot(F2.5, verticals= TRUE, do.p = TRUE, lwd=3, ylab = "", xlab = "", xlim = c(1,5.5)) abline(h= (0:5)*0.2) #mean abline(v=mean(x), lwd=2) mtext(text=expression(bar(x) == 3.07), side=1, adj=0.462, padj=3, cex=1) *** Now I would like to

Dear R-helpers, I have trouble aligning an expression with a subscript, and text, in margin text: par(mar=c(6,6,1,1)) b <- barplot(1:3) mtext(c("A","B","C"), at=b, side=1, line=1, cex=1.3) mtext(expression(italic(C)[a]~(more~text)), at=0, line=1, side=1,cex=1.3) As explained in the help files and elsewhere, I understand that the expression is aligned by the

Dear All, In the last few days I started using the last version of R as I encountered a problem with R1.9 and the use of RWinEdt, however the problem shows with R2.01 as well. More precisely 1. I install R2.01 after removing old verions of R 2. I Install RWinEdt package versione RWinEdt_1.6-2 and SWinRegistry_0.3-2 and everything seems fine 3. I recall the RWinEdt library (library(RWinEdt)) and

First of all, I apologize for the triple post, but I did not see that the word wrap on the r-help list site would render my code unusable. So here it is again. Hoping that this time it will work if you cut and paste it in your Rgui. I have a program that works well in Rgui but that does not work in a batch file (Execution halted). Here's the code (it will work on your R, but you need

Dear colleagues, I often use chemical formulas to label my x-axis, e.g. in barplots. I used to do this like the following example and it worked just fine: a <- seq(2,24,2) b <- seq(3,36,3) c <- rbind(a,b) barplot(c, width=c(0.9, 1.1),space=c(0.2, 0.75), col=c("indianred4", "yellow2"), beside = TRUE, xlab="Ions", yaxt="n", xaxt="n", ylab

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

<> Hello One sometimes (quite often really ) marvel at the choice of defaults in R's graphic engine. For some obscure reason, mtext uses the typographical descender (bottom of letters) to align text. That is: "gG" will end up slightly higher that "GG". Depending on the font, "Q" might end up higher than "O". (for explanation of baseline

Dear all, I found the last example of this link ( https://sites.ualberta.ca/~lkgray/uploads/7/3/6/2/7362679/6c_-_line_plots_with_error_bars.pdf) very similar to the one I need to make for my paper, and I think I got what I wanted by applying some of the suggestions of this mail list. Here it is the code I devised (maybe there will be further improvements from the list): YEAR <- c(1996 ,

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,
