similar to: position legend below x-axis title

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

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

Hi, if given the value of, say, 15000, I would like to be able to divide that value recursively by, say, 5, and to get a vector of a determined length, say 9, the last value being (set to) zero- i.e. like this: 15000 3000 600 120 24 4.8 0.96 0.192 0 These are in fact concentration values from an experiment. For my script, I get only the starting value (here 15000), and the factor by which

Hi Sir How can I change plot size, figure size and device size? The examples availble for par() function are not very helpful. Would you please give a very simple example?

Dear R Community, I'm using xyplot in Lattice with a legend and a title on the legend. The title on legend is being cut off, as can be seen by running the code below. The legend is on the right, but I would like to get to the top right of the graphics window. Is there a way to get the legend title to display correctly and move the whole legend up the the top right? Thanks, Justin ### R

Hello! Is there a way to change the position of the legend created in a barplot from the right side of the plot to the left side or somewhere else? Thanks Dipl.-Kfm.

Hi there, I draw a multiple figure in one plot, like the following: par(mfcol=c(1,5),mar=c(4,4,0,0)+0.2, oma=c(0,0,3,0)) plot(1:10, type = "b") plot(1:10, type = "b") plot(1:10, type = "b") plot(1:10, type = "b") plot(1:10, type = "b") Now, I hope to plot the legend like the following: legend("top", legend=c("Example"), pch

Hi folks, can anybody give me a hint how to solve the following problem? I have several plots in one window like this: layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4), nrow = 2, byrow = TRUE)) plot(rnorm(100)) plot(rnorm(200)) plot(rnorm(300)) plot(rnorm(400)) Now, I'd like to create a legend below each plot and generate a common title. How can I do that? Antje

I generated maps with the function symbols (graphics). These are basic maps generated with : symbols(x,y,circles=myvariable) where x et y are spatial coordinates corresponding to replicates of "myvariable". I would associate legend to this kind of maps, is it possible? Regards, Marion. -- Marion Jacquot Laboratoire de Chrono-environnement UMR UFC/CNRS 6249 USC INRA Universit? de

Hi all, It looks like I''ll be in Seattle on Sunday, September 16th through Tuesday the 18th, and I''d like to have Puppet Meetup either Sunday or Monday night. On Adam''s recommendation, I''ll be staying at the Queen Anne Inn, so something near there would be best. Hopefully Adam or Blake can do the actual organization. :) Any takers? -- What is

Dear Rs I have a 3x3 multiple plot. I would like to have a overall legend in the outer right margin. From the help archive, I found that it can be done by setting par(xpd=NA). However, I couldn't find the correct values for x and y co-ordinates for the legend. Please find the code snippet below: par(mfrow=c(3,3), mar=c(4,4,0.9,0.5), oma=c(1,2,2,4),cex.main=1.1)

I am having a problem with a gantt chart since moving to R2.4.0. from 2.3.1 I made some adaptations to the code from http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=74 and successful produced a simple gantt chart. However when I upgraded to 2.4.0 it no longer works as desired. See http://ca.geocities.com/jrkrideau/R/gantproblem.pdf for the two charts. The charts were produced

Dear R Users, I'm able to display a legend using the following code: > legend("topright", c("Simulation", "Observation"), fill=2:3, bty="n") However, this causes the legend to be positioned too close to the bars in my barplot. I'd like to move the legend up slightly. I have been trying to determine the necessary values by trial and error to do

Does anybody know how in xyplot to put the legend title on one line with the legend? I can get the legend on one line with columns=... but the title is always on top. I tried a custom key with key=... and text=... but I can't put the title text in front of the plotting symbol. I am looking for the following layout of the legend, on one line: "Legend Title:" + plot symbol1 + legend

Dear R-help, I am using Sweave and pdflatex to generate a large report from data contained in my database (Postgres via RODBC). Currently, I work with a single R/Sweave file, containing several "chapter" indications for the Latex engine. My master tex file sets the document class, and includes the introduction, the main Sweave file, and a conclusions and reference file. I use a makefile

Dear all, I am currently trying to create a plot showing multiple single plots, for which the important issue is that the size of each plot region (not figure region!) has to be of a fixed dimension (in my case: width=1 inch, height= 0.87 inches). I tried to use "pin" to fix the plotting region to a specific size, but without success. The following example will visualize the problem:

Hi R People: Here is a simple set of commands: >x1 <- 1:10 >x2 <- sqrt(x1) >plot(x1) >points(x2,col="red",pch=3) >legend(2,8,legend=c("First","Second"),col=c("black","red"),pch=c(1,3)) > Fine. Now, I would like to put the legend box on the outside of the plot itself, perhaps in the lower left hand corner. I've been

Hi, I've looked at the parameters available for the legend function and cannot find a way to change the distance between the top of the box surrounding a legend and the legend's title. I have a math expression that raises the height of my title. If you don't mind the non-sensical title I give to the legend for this plot (Figure 3.20 in R Graphics): with(iris,

Dear helpers, I've got a main script, which calls 4 times a function on 4 different datasets respectively. This function runs "nls" and is located in another R script which is sourced into my main script. What I would like to have is this: If, e.g. in the 3rd call of the function, nls fails, because it can't converge, I would like it to return an error (value or message), and

Dear List, I am trying to plot a color.legend() in the right outer margin of my device region. I have read multiple threads on the subject and still can't get it right. I have stolen an example from one of the threads to demonstrate my problem. I have extended the outer margin using par(oma()), and have used par(xpd=NA) to tell it to plot in the device region. I can get the legend to plot
