Is there an equivalent to the S-PLUS par()$cxy in R? Also, is it possible to get notice taken of some equivalent of \n in R when using text()? For what it is worth I am using RW-0.64.1.

Hi everyone, Can I suggest an additional output component in cancor, from package mva? It would be useful to have the number of canonical correlation vectors, equivalently the rank of the covariance between x and y (label "rank"). This would usually be min(dx, dy), where dx and dy have already been computed for the svd function, but there might be situations where it was less than

Dear R users, I used plot() and mtext() functions to draw a plot. The numbers: 0,20,35, 40,60,80,100 were in the vertical direction. I'd like to transfer them into the horizontal direction. plot(0,0,xaxt="n",type="n", ylim=c(0,100)) mtext("35",side=2,at=35) Any suggestion? Thanks. Rebecca [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, Before posting to r-bugs, I thought that I would just verify this one first. It looks like the help for axTicks() needs to be corrected. It presently says: 'axTicks()' can be regarded as an R implementation of the C function 'CreateAtVector()' in '..../src/main/graphics.c' which is called by 'axis(side,*)' when no argument 'at' is specified.

good morning to the R-help list!, I would like to ask if there is an alternative to the S ploting parameter "cxy" in R. I am trying to port some S code to R that makes use of this "cxy" parameter to scale the graphics, and I don't find this parameter in help(par). thank you, IOsu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jes?s

Hi all, I need help with axis in plot. I want to edit y axis label of my plot. My data is like: x <- c(100,50,10,1,0.1,0.05,0.001) plot(log(x)) axTicks(2) # Label of y axis [1] -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 I'd like that y axis label was like: e^-6, e^-4, etc. (with text "e" superscript -6, -4, etc.) I try to use expression(), but don't work. plot(log(x), yaxt="n")

?axTicks says: usr: numeric vector of length four, defaulting to ?par("usr")? giving horizontal (?x?) and vertical (?y?) user coordinate limits. but this is not how the function is implemented -- in fact 'usr' should be a vector of length two corresponding to the appropriate elements of par("usr") [1:2 if side is 1 or 3, 3:4 if side is 2 or

Hi, I am trying to put on one plot two different logarithmic scales, using the bottom and top X-axes. Below there is an example of what I am trying to achieve, using axTicks() -- and fails. I already spent few hours on that, and cannot figure out from ?par and ?axTicks what I am doing wrong. Example follows: ############################################################ #### Data x <-

I was trying to recreate this kind of timeline plot: http://www.vertex42.com/ExcelArticles/create-a-timeline.html As you can see in their excel example, the events are nicely placed out on both sides of the timeline axis. AFAIK there is no function to do this nicely in R-project. Furthermore, graphics and lattice packages are unable to draw the x-axis in the middle of the plot. (datapoints

Hello all. I have the following: plot(salaries$yearID, salaries$salary, type='n', xaxt='n', xlab='', yaxt='n', ylab='') axis(1, at=unique(salaries$yearID), labels=unique(salaries$yearID), lwd=.25, tck=-0.05) axis(2, axTicks(2), format(axTicks(2), scientific = F)) Which nicely creates the Y axis with the raw numbers, which are in the range of .5 - 7

hi all - i've seen versions of this question before, but none seem to get directly at my solving my (probably very simple) issue: i simply want to annotate the tick marks on an axis with (superscripted) 10^x notation, and tried this: axis(1, at = axTicks(1), as.expression(substitute(10^foo, list(foo = axTicks(1)))) thinking the as.expression/substitute would create the appropriate

I using lattice to make some plots and I want to make the y-axis on some of these plots use a log scale. In the following plot: x <- 1:10 y <- 2^x xyplot(log10(y) ~ x) I get tick marks on the y-axis at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0. I would rather have just 3 tick marks at 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 but labeled 10, 100, and 1000. I know this can be done using the "at" and

Dear listers, I have written a function to facilitate the drawing of altitude profiles with x (distance), y (altitude) and a z parameter (altitude magnification). profplot<-function(x,y,z=10,...){ op <- par()$mai par(mai=c(0.95625,0.76875,0.76875,0.95625)) plot(x,y*z, type="l",asp=1,las=1,xlab="",ylab="",yaxt="n",...)

When ploting a timeseries, the months are shown with abbreviation in the current language of the system. For example, x <- seq(from=as.Date("2000-04-01"), length.out=100, by=1) y <- rnorm(length(x), 5,2) plot(x, y) Show for me "avi mai jui jul" as I use R with French language localization. I see in the Windows FAQ how to completely change the language of R, but I

Hi list, I wanted to plot an image with a colorbar to the right of the plot, but set my own axis labels (text rather than numbers) to the image. I have previously accomplished this with two calls to image(), but the package 'fields' has a wrapper function, image.plot(), which does this task conveniently. However, I could not add axes to the original image after a call to image.plot(); I

Hi, I was trying to run the following, where the labels on the x axis are dates and need to be converted to characters. It did not work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. > text(axTicks(1),par("usr)[3]-2,srt=45,adj=1,labels=as.character(c("2008-01-08","2008-08-10","2008-08-22","2008-09-03", "2008-09-15")), xpd=T, cex=0.8) Error:

There is still issues with the reversed y-log scale plot: # Test case A: works as expected plot(10:100,log="y",ylim=c(100,11)) grid() par("yaxp") # Test case B: grid does not have horizontal lines; par("yaxp") is different plot(1:100,log="y",ylim=c(100,10)) grid() par("yaxp") In the second test case, axTicks for the horizontal lines (in

I often use something like old.par <- par(set someting) on.exit(par(old.par)) but in R 1.7.0. I now get warnings: > old.par <- par() > par(old.par) Warning messages: 1: parameter "cin" can't be set in: par(args) 2: parameter "cra" can't be set in: par(args) 3: parameter "csi" can't be set in: par(args) 4:

Is there a way to force the number of ticks along an axis ? I read the on-line documentation and tried many combinations of all available parameters from functions par(), axTicks(), axis(), plot() ... but no luck ! Thank you very much, Maura tutti i telefonini TIM! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I've been using par() to check the graphics parameters associated with both plot(<fitted linear model>) and plot(<grouped data object>). AFAIK the only differences are in the $cxy, $usr, $xaxp, and $yaxp parameters but the background color for the grouped data plot is grey while the linear model plot has a white background. When I've tried par(bg = "white") prior to
