similar to: multiple plots with a title

I'm trying to use mtext to create a main title over multiple plots. Below is a simple self-contained example and my sessionInfo (I should note I've also tried this with R-2.8.1 with the same results). When I execute the code chunk below, I get the plots, but no title. I've tried this using the screen driver, pdf, and postscript. I've used different sizes of paper. I suspect I am

Hi all, I have a basic question concerning graphs in R. I?m using the par() function and I?m working with multiple figures by row (mfrow) but my the hight of my figures become compressed. I have 4 rows and 2 columns (because I want to plot 8 histograms (freq = FALSE ) on it. I know I can adapt my margins with for example ?oma? and ?mai? but I don?t know how to choose the size of the figure? I

Dear R people, I am using par(mfrow=c()) to plot multi-figures in the same window. And I like to put a common title (and xlab, ylab) for all of plots. I have already left some margin by resetting omi values in par() and hided all (xlab, ylab) for each sub-plot. Could anyone tell me how to do that? Thanks a lot, Frank

I want to put multiple plots on a page using par(mfrow), then a single title at the top. This should work, but doesn't: R> par(oma=c(0,0,4,0), mfrow=c(3,4)) R> for (i in 1:12) {plot(1); title(i)} R> ## text(10,10, ".") R> par(mfrow=c(1,1), oma=c(0,0,1,0)) R> title("Main Title") The main title does not appear. However, uncommenting the third line

Dear all, I have a 3x2 plot and in addition to the title of the individual plots I would like to have an overall title for each row. I managed to get an overall title for the whole plot matrix with mtext: par(mfrow=(c(3,2)), mar=c(6.4,4.5,4.2, 1.8), oma=c(0,0,3,0)) for (i in 1:6) barplot(sample(1:10,5), main=paste("Plot #",i)) mtext("Overall Title Row 1", outer=TRUE) but I

I have a 2x2 plot set up using: par(mfrow=c(2,2)) I'd like to put an overall title on the page, but I cannot figure out how. Any ideas? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, all, Does anyone know of a way to get a title on an array of plots? I have tried to use title, mtext, and text to get the title on the array, but to no avail. I would like something like the following. title("Big Array") par(mfrow=c(2,4)) plot(x1,y1) plot(x2,y2) .. .. .. Much appreciated, Art

Dear R Users, I am attempting to place a title to a graph with multiple plots that should go across the top of all the graphs, and not just one of them. I am using mfrow in par to plot. Can anyone suggest if and how this could be done ? Thanks in advance, Tolga

R 2.15.1 OS X (MLion) Colleagues, I am aware that changes in mfrow / mfcol in par() affect cex (from help: In a layout with exactly two rows and columns the base value of ?"cex"? is reduced by a factor of 0.83: if there are three or more of either rows or columns, the reduction factor is 0.66). I generate a multipage PDF in which mfrow varies such that cex is impacted. This affect

Dear R-users: I asked a question on how I can have a universal legend in a plot and received the following result. I tried using "layout" but I can't seem to work on the "empty" plot (where I have to have the legend). I tried "oma" but I couldn't improve the quality of the plot, and that I didn't know how to specify all the line types using the

Simple question how can you position text in the top left hand corner of a plot? I am plotting multiple plots using par(mfrow=c(2,3)) and all I want to do is label these plots a), b), c) etc. I have been fiddling around with both text and mtext but without much luck. text is fine but each plot has a different scale on the axis and so this makes it problematic. What is the best way to do this?

I am new to R and have a problem that I haven't been able to find the answer to in the guides or online. I have multiple datasets, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7 and D8, and I would like to produce two plots side by side using mfrow.  The first plot should contain data from D1-D4, the second should contain D5-D8. I can plot these separately using the code, par(mfrow=c(1,1))

Dear List, In R we can plot multiple graphs in same page using par(mfrow = c(*,*)). In each plot we can set title using main and sub commands. However, is there any way that we can place an universal title above the set of plots placed in the same page (not individual plot titles, all i need is a title of the whole graph page) as well as sib-titles? Do I need any package to do so? Thank you

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

Hello! I want to display four xyplots in the same window (sorry if I don't use the propers words, but my English is rude) I know that if I use plot(y~x) then x=(1:100) y=(1:100) par(mfrow=c(2,2)) plot(y~x) plot(y~x) plot(y~x) plot(y~x) would give what I want, but this is not the case because I need the functions of xyplot. So I did the following: plot.new()

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,

Dear R users, I am trying to write myself a loop in order to produce a set of 20 length frequency plots each pertaining to a factor level. I would like each of these plots to be available on the same figure, so I have used par(mfrow = c(4, 5)). However, when I run my loop below, it produces 20 plots for each factor level and only displays the last factor levels LF plots. I'm fairly new to

It seems that there is a problem in displaying subtitle in general, independently from multi-plot display. when I do plot (c(1,2,3), c(9,8,7), type = "l") title(main = "Main title", sub ="Sub title",cex.main=2, cex.sub = 2) subtitle doesn't get displayed > --- On Sat, 11/21/09, David Winsemius <dwinsemius at comcast.net> > wrote: >

Hi, I am trying to plot my dataset, consisting of one column with numeric values and one column with group IDs. The set is similar to the following df. df <- NULL for ( i in 1:20) { tmp1 <- runif(1000,0,5) tmp2 <- cbind(tmp1,i) df <- rbind(df,tmp2) } Now I would like to plot the numeric column, stratified by the group IDs, in a single figure. First, I partitioned the frame
