similar to: Rotate legends or other approaches to nice legend placement?

I'm trying to generate some plots for print publication and I'm having trouble getting them the way I want. I get a plot with a legend that overlaps the bars and looks bad. Also, I'm saving this as PDF file (whatever happened to the "png" function to save as PNG format, in r 1.4.1?) I've tried a number of things, which produce a number of questions. 1) it seems that the

I am printing numbers onto horizontal bars in a bar plots, but I am finding it difficult to make the number always the right size. If there are more bars, the bars get narrower and the font is too big. I also find that if I change the size of the graph, the bars will get wider or narrower and the font stays about the same size. The result depends on whether I view the graph in X11 or in

Estimados compañeros, estoy dando vueltas a cómo poner los nombres de las provincias para que se sepa el valor que corresponde a cada una en el siguiente código: barplot(table(dg$prov), xlab="provincias", ylab="Frecuencia") Recuerdo que hubo un mensaje en el foro sobre el parámetro srt=90 para poner los títulos en vertical , pero no logro manejarlo. Gracias, Juan --

I have found a bug/feature with barplot that at least to me shows undesireable behaviour. When using barplot and plotting fewer groups/levels/factors(I am unsure what they are called) than the number of colors stated in a col statement, the colors wrap around such that the colors are not fixed to one group. This is mostly problematic when I make R figures using scripts, since I sometimes have

I am creating a CDF plot function more user-friendly than any default r function. Depending upon the bimodality of the data (it is often bimodal), or any other strange data trends, the points can end up gathering in just about any corner of the plot. So, when I add a legend, whether I choose to add it in the bottom right, top left, or wherever, it will sometimes end up putting the legend right

I can put a legend on a plot with something like: legend('bottom', leg.txt, horiz = TRUE, fill = colors) But what if the arrays leg.txt and colors are too big? I would still like to provide a legend but to save space I would like to just show small boxes with the color filled in so it will still fit on the plot. If I could adjust the size of the boxes (at least in one dimension)

Hello all, When using the 'barplot' function, how would one go about creating labels on the top of the bars corresponding to the actual frequency values (i.e., the height of the bar). For histograms, one can use the 'LABEL=T' parameter to this effect, but it is not available for barplot. Must one manually create such labels for a barplot (perhaps using mtext)? Thanks.

Hi R newbie here :) I need to plot 3 barplots in the same axis, something like | | _ _ _ | | | _ | | _ | | _ | _ | || | _ | || | _ | || | | | || || | | || || | | || || | -+----------------------------------------- | v1 v2 v3 Is there any documentation describing how to achieve that, and

Full_Name: Daniel Gasser Version: 1.8.1 OS: Win XP Submission from: (NULL) (130.60.20.92) The legend()-Function shows a different behaviour than it did in Version 1.6.1. It plots a black box left of the legend lines on each legend row. In 1.6.1 there was just the line in appropriate color for each row in the legend (i was using exactly the same legend statement and same plot function). My legend

Dear All, I have the following data coming out from s <- with(final, summarize(norm, llist(gtt,fdiab), function(norm) { n <- sum(!is.na(norm)) s <- sum(norm, na.rm=T) binconf(s, n) }, type='matrix') ) ie gtt fdiab norm.norm norm.norm2 norm.norm3 18

Hello dear list, I just cannot figure out how to do this and didn't find a solution for my specific problem. I want to place a centered horizontal legend between 4 plots. That's no problem. The problem is: As soon as I specify the "text.width" parameter to separate the two legend entries, the legend is not centered anymore. I thought the 'xjust' parameter would do what

Hi everyone. I have a linear regression where I retrieve the R2 like this: r2 = sprintf('%4.2f %s',(summary(reg1)$r.squared)) In my figure I have a legend where I would like to add that R2 value to the legend text. Something like: My text R^2 = r2 legend('topright', inset = .05, title='light ratios', pch = c(21), c(paste('Green/Red', R^2, '=', r2)),

I`ve read all the manuals and still couln`t find what is the difference between the stacked and side-by-side barplots ? Could you explain me ? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello everybody, Is it possible to coax legend() into displaying more than one simbol per line in legend? I have a graph like the one attached to this mail; I would like to reorganize the legend in such a way that the duplicate text would be omitted, i.e., the first line would read <square> <triangledown> "increasing frequency" and the second one would read <circle>

Given this example mean.values<-colMeans(VADeaths) mean.values<-apply(VADeaths, 2, mean) median.values<-apply(VADeaths, 2, median) dotchart(VADeaths, gdata=mean.values) dotchart(VADeaths, gdata=median.values) is it possible to ?combine? a single dotchart showing both the mean and the median for each single group (with different plotting symbols)? ?is it that possible with the use of

Dear R gurus, I am trying to plot a legend in the margins of a figure. The basic idea is to have two (or more) plots on the same figure, but then to have a common legend at the bottom of the plot. The approach that I have taken is to setup the figures, then do a "dummy" plot of the legend to determine the height of the legend box (ie from the value returned by the legend() command). I

Dear R users, using dotplot (R1.2.0, WinNT4.0), I am trying to change the character size of the labels of the points: > # example > data(VADeaths) > dotplot(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940") > # I'd like to have smaller character size of the labels (for age and population groups) > ?dotplot > # for argument "cex", this says:

Dear R-users, I am using R version 2.10.1 under windows. In a barplot, I want to mark one of the bars with a special border color. For example: barplot(c(3, 7, 11), border = c(NA, "red", NA)) But how to do this when the bars are stacked? for example: barplot(matrix(1:6, ncol=3)) # border of second bar (i.e. the one with total height = 7) should be red again, I try: barplot(matrix(1:6,

Hi there, I am wanting to create 8 side-by-side histograms which have been rotated 90 degrees clockwise from how they usually sit.. all with the same scales. Is someone able to help me out?

Hello, I get a nice looking barplot using the barplot2 function in the gregmisc package: body2 <- barplot2(hh3, beside = TRUE, col = c("mistyrose", "lightcyan"), .... cex.names = 1.0, plot.ci = TRUE, ci.l = cil, ci.u = ciu, plot.grid = TRUE) box() However, obviously I lose the collors when converting from ps to a pdf (outside of R)
