Dear R-users, I would like to add a legend at the bottom of pairs plots (it's my first use of this function). With the plot function, I usually add some additional space at the bottom when I define the size of the graphical device (using mar); grid functions then allows me to draw my legend as I want. Unfortunatley, this technique does not seem to work with the pairs function as the

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.

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 R-users, I inted to make multiple plots using for loop. The question is how can I adjust the left hand side margin of the plot according to the names.arg argument in barplot2. In every plot I have different annotations in the y axis and they vary in length. Now when I have fixed margins opar <- par(mar=c(3,15,0,2)... I get the same margins in all of the plots. That leaves lots of white

Hi, Bert: Yes, I studied the functions you suggested, but I didn't get to adapt it to my example whose reproducible code I sent in my first email. Here it is the code of the functions I studies: ## par par(mfrow = c(2, 3)) par(cex = 0.6) par(mar = c(3, 3, 0, 0), oma = c(1, 1, 1, 1)) for (i in 1:6) { plot(1, 1, type = "n") mtext(letters[i], side = 3, line = -1, adj = 0.1, cex =

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.

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. Is this the correct scalable calculation? par(mar=c(4,3,1,5)); plot(1:20) s <- 'abcde'; w=strwidth(s, units='inches')/par('cin')[1] mtext(s, side=4, las=1, at=5, adj=1, line=w-.5, cex=1) mtext(s, side=4, las=1, at=7,

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 ,

I am trying to adjust the sigma symbol down in the y direction with the following command but R recycles the sigma and puts another at -0.1 in the x axis.

Depending on the setting of par()$usr, the 'at' setting in mtext(.., adj=0, outer=T) may cause the text to appear in an anomalous position (e. g. in the first instance below, at the left of the plot region rather than at 'at=0' in the figure region), or the text may not appear at all. If one does not set the 'at' parameter the text appears (with 'adj=0') on the

<> 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

Hi, is there a way to place text at the upper left corner (or another corner) of the plot? I want to place it really at the upper left corner of the whole plot (the file I get), not at the upper left corner of the plot-region. I tried text() and mtext(), and corner.label() of the plotrix package but it didn't work out. thanks!

Dear colleagues/contributors, I'd be pleased if someone could provide insights on how to plot impulse response functions in a format that can easily be copied in a word document just as plotting time-series of variables. I had followed the outline suggested by Benhard Pfaff [see http://127.0.0.1:17693/library/vars/html/irf.html] but I am unable to get the impulse response functions in a

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

Sir, I have hit a the limits of my understanding of text / par / opar etc... I have a few related xts data frames which have multiple columns, and have written a for-loop to make a set of charts - however i do not get any margin text when i run the loop. when i test the code outside of the loop the margin text appears - however when i run the loop the margin text does not appear ... what gives?

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'm trying to recreate a graph similar to the last one found on this link: https://sites.ualberta.ca/~lkgray/uploads/7/3/6/2/7362679/6c_-_line_plots_with_error_bars.pdf The difference is that I want budbreak on the top, and the temperatures at the bottom. I tried to set par before each graph and include lines, with no avail. Thanks, Bert. Andre On Mon, Jun 19, 2017 at 7:41 PM, Bert Gunter

Colleagues, I am trying to create a PDF document in which I use margin text with two different fonts. The resulting text might be: XXXXXyZZZ where X and Z are one font and Y is the other. My plan was to do this in the following manner: mtext("XXXXX ZZZ", cex=2, adj=0.5, family=SOMEFONT) mtext("Y", cex=2, adj=??, family=DIFFERENTFONT) My question regards how to calculate

Hi You are quite close. With slight modification of your code: par(mfrow = c(2, 1)) par(cex = 0.6) par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0), oma = c(4, 4, 0.5, 0.5)) par(tcl = -0.25) par(mgp = c(2, 0.6, 0)) plot(BUD~YEAR, type="o", ann=F, axes=F, pch=19, ylim=c(60,100),data=g1) axis(4, las=2) mtext("Bud Break (Julian Day)", side=4, padj=4) arrows(g1$YEAR,g1$BUD, g1$YEAR,g1$BUD + g1$BUD_SE,
