similar to: mtext uses the typographical descender to align text

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

Hi Can anyone please help me in understanding the utility of "padj" and "outer (logical)" values in the '*mtext function*' given below are the output I generated on using the below code which is different from the formula description on r help > par(mfrow=c(2,1),xpd=NA) > y1 <- rnorm(100) > plot(y1,ann=F,axes=F,type="l") >

Following on from my previous mail! plot(1:10,1:10) mtext("title", side=3, adj=0, font=3, cex=1.5) This works as expected and puts the font in italics. tag <- "A)" suffix <- "genea::" plot(1:10,1:10) mtext(bquote(.(tag) ~ Delta * .(suffix)), side=3, adj=0, font=3, cex=1.5) Here, the font isn't in italics, it's normal. I presume this is some

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,

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, 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. Thanks for any suggestions Tobias -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/changing-text-direction-of-mtext-tf4321931.html#a12307342 Sent from

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, I need to add on a plot text containing italic Greek characters using the function mtext (i.e. I cannot use Hershey vectors). The characters are nicely displayed when the file is saved as png but not when saved as eps. See code below as example: #postscript('test.eps') png('test.png') plot(1,1, type = 'n') mtext(side = 3, line = 2,

Colleagues, Using R 2.10.1 in OS X (Snow Leopard), I created JPEG documents that were intended to include italicized text. In the JPEG versions, the italics appear in bold-face. The identical code (except for the call to the device) yields italics in PDF. A minimal example is: PDF version: > pdf("plot.pdf") > plot(1,1) > mtext(bquote(italic(P) < .(0.005))) >

Hi, I have a problem with aligning text which I'm adding to a plot using "mtext". I would like to specify the position of the right hand end of the text string, relative to the device (in the left-right direction). I've been looking at the use of the argument "adj". But this can't be used to specify the rightmost point of the text. Neither does it specify exactly

Hi, I need to italicize the journal in a citation but have thus far failed. How can I make 'Journal of Something' below italic but leave the rest? mtext( "See Author1 and Author2 (2007) , \"Title\", Journal of Something , pp. 1-50.", side = 3, outer = T, line=-0.75, cex = 0.7, at= 0.04, adj = 0, font = 1, family = "Times") -- View this message in

Hi there, I've added some test to my plots with: > diff <- ma - m > mtext(substitute(Delta == that, list(that=diff)), side=3, adj=0, line=0, cex=0.8) Now I want to add a "V" and tried this: >mtext(substitute(list(Delta, italic(V)) == that, list(that=diff)), ...) but this plots a comma between Delta and V. How can I add Delta V without the comma? Thanks, Sven

On my machine (Mac OS 10.5.6, R 2.8.1) the following plot is drawn such that a substantial portion of the descender of the title is covered by the plot: library(ggplot2) qplot(x=1:10,y=1:10,main='p q j g') -- Mike Lawrence Graduate Student Department of Psychology Dalhousie University www.thatmike.com Looking to arrange a meeting?

I wish place the following axis label in such a manner that some of the text is plain and the scientific name is in italics (i.e. a mixture of two font types) Using plot: mtext("Total Landings of Pecten maximus (tonnes)",font,=3, side=2, line=3) makes everything italic, but how do I apply the font change to only "Pecten maximus"?

Hi Team, I'm on a mac, 0SX 10.5.6, R 2.7.2. I consistently make pairs plots and use mtext() to put labels on top of the plot in the outer margin. All of a sudden, this text has become really grainy in the final product and is making huge files. I have no idea why this has just started happening. The only thing I've done lately is install the new version of GIMP and run the script to

Dear R-users, the problem I'm facing today is to write a multicolor main title in a plot. I would like to have 3/4 colors to help people in the audience to visually realize what is what in a 4x2 plot array On top of each plot I would like to have two lines. The 1st line will indicate what is plotted The 2nd line will indicate a a reference Graphically speaking I would like a result similar

Hi, I am using mtext instead of the ylab argument in some plots because i want to move it away from the numbers in the axis. However, the text in the X axis, for example: par(mar=c(5, 5.5, 4, 2)); plot(data, main="plot name", xlab= 'X axis', ylab="", font=2, cex.lab=1.5, font.lab=2, cex.main=1.8); mtext('Y axis', side=2, cex=1.5, line=4,

I want to right-justify a vector of numbers in the right margin of a low-level plot. For this I need to compute the line parameter to give to mtext.
