similar to: shifting ticks to left or right

Hello R-help, I'm trying to make a fairly simple plot axis that goes something like this: plot(-10:10,-10:10, yaxt='n') axis(side=2, las=1, hadj=1, tck=-.01, cex.axis=.6) ...but as you can see, the labels are not close enough to the y-axis (where I want them... to save space for publication). Can anybody help me figure out how to move these labels over the the right a bit?

I am displaying several series in one plot, and would like to make them distinct without having to employ a legend. I managed to color tickmarks, but have been unsuccessful with either one of a) making tickmarks thicker (without increasing the axis at the same time). From reading ?axis: lty, lwd: line type, width for the axis line and the tick marks. in would appear that I cannot

I had hoped that plot(c(0,24),c(0,-6),xlab="Time",ylab="Day", type="n", main="This Week",axes=FALSE) axis(2,at=0:(-6), labels = c("Sun","Mon","Tues","Wed","Thurs","Fri","Sat"),hadj=TRUE) axis(1,at=seq(0,24,4)) would give me horizontal tick labels. It doesn't. What would?

People, I am using the "las=2" parameter to rotate the labels for the X axis ticks but it means that they are almost touching the "xlab" string. I have been messing around with the "mai" paremeter but that doesn't help - is there some way of increasing the space between xlab and the X axis tick labels? Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades GPO Box 3411 Sydney

Apologies, basic question on plot. y <- c(-4,3,-2,1); x <- c("time 1", "time 2", "time 3", "time 4"); plot(x,y, type="b"); of course fails. x <- 1:4 makes it succeed, but then I have too many ticks on my X axis. I want exactly 4 tickmarks. It would also be nicer if I could name the ticks. I looked at ?par and Venables&Ripley,

Per the Posting Guide, why didn't you post the reproducible R code example?

I'm drawing a paneled histogram using the lattice package. I've succeeded in adding minor tick marks to the vertical axis, but I can't get the desired number of minor tick marks between the major tick marks. I've attached a self-contained program to illustrate the problem. Thanks for your help, Don Macnaughton Here's my sessionInfo: R version 3.4.3 (2017-11-30) Platform:

I am bewildered by the behaviour of tickmarks as demonstrated by the following code. (What I'm trying to do is draw a single tick mark extending from the axis all the way down to the tick label, which is two lines from the axis to make sure it doesn't overlap with the ``ordinary'' tick labels.) # Try 1: # Gap between tickmark and label. plot(1:10) axis(side = 1, at = 2.35,

Thanks Jeff, I attached a file with the program to my earlier email because the posting guide seemed to imply that non-binary attachments would work. But I see that the file was stripped off. I installed the program file on a web site, but when I downloaded it, the line breaks were stripped out. So I've included the program below: ------------------------------------------------------- #

Dear Gurus, Using R 2.4.1 on Windows XP I am generating stacked barplots of age-composition of fish populations (Y) over time (X). As there are many years, not every bars is labeled. When looking at the plot, it becomes difficult to associate labels with their bars. We have improved this a bit by using axis() to add a tickmark below each bar. Can anyone suggest a way to draw ticks ONLY

I have been experimenting with various approaches to plotting (irregular) time-series with reasonable success. One thing I have been able to do is change the number of tick marks on the axis. Consider the following simple example: > x <- as.data.frame(matrix(ncol=2,nrow=500)) > names(x) <- c("dates","values") > x$dates <- as.POSIXct(Sys.time()+1:500*86400)

I'm trying to find a way to force all the x-axis tick labels to plot, regardless whether or not they overlap or look pretty. V is a factor with, say, 4 levels. A call to plot(V) gives a histogram-like plot, one bar for each level in V. The problem is that all the label names may not be plotted because some of the names are lengthy and would tend to overlap if plotted. I don't care

I have a graph plotted in r.The x axis tickmarks are at 0,5,10. I need a graph with resolution of tickmarks at 0.1 interval.When i place tickmarks of 0.1 intervals using the following command axis(1, at=seq(0,5,0.1), cex.axis=0.7, las=2) I only get the tickmarks of 0.1 interval that are very closed placed in the graph.I need to increase the spacing between each tickmark. Please anyone help out

Hi, I'm working with timeseries data. The values are every 5 seconds and each series can last up to 4-5 days. To generate the x-axis labels, I'm doing the following: ========================= # Variable for displaying hours on the x-axis rtime <<- as.POSIXct(round(range(timedata), "hours")) # Variable for displaying days on the x-axis stime <<-

Hi, A few times I tried to control the number and position of tick marks in plots with the yasp or xasp parameters. For example, a y axis was drawn by default with tick marks at 0, 20, 40, 80 and 100. I tried to get tick marks every 10 by adding yasp=(0, 100, 10) but this had no effect at all. I know I can draw the axis and tick marks manually, but often this simple option would suffice

Hello R Users! I'm using lattice to produce some graphs with logaritmic y-scales. I use the command xyplot(hits ~ c(1:1024), data=eichData, type="S", scales=list(y = list(log=10))) to create the plot. This is fine, except for the automatically choosen tick marks. I'd like to have a major tick at the 10^n location and minor ticks in between which correspond with the native

Have a simple bwplot with 24 ordered factors across the x axis. I would like to only label every 4th tick mark so that the labels fit. I tried scales=list(x=list(tick.number=6)), but I still seem to get 24 tickmarks and 24 labels. Full code is below: bwplot(SumOfIn.Use ~ Hour | Period, scales=list(x=list(tick.number=6)),horizontal=FALSE,las=2,main="Rooms Running",sub="Timeframe:

Hello! I am using function "curve" to create a line graph. I was wondering, if it's possible to "turn off" the default tick marks and introduce those tick marks in specific locations. For example, currently in my X axis tick marks are (automatically) at 10, 11, 12, 13 but I want them to be in 5 specific locations, like 9.89, 10.34, etc. Any hint would be greatly

I have created an xyplot of a time series with the following code... win.graph(width = 10, height = 7) panel1 = function(x, y) { panel.loess(x, y, lwd=2.5, span=0.5, col="gray") panel.xyplot(x, y, pch=19, col="blue", cex=1.25) } xyplot(oneplusdensity ~ year, data=figdata, aspect="fill", cex=1.5, xlab=NULL, ylab=expression("Crabs per

Dear R Users, I am trying to get plot.zoo to place monthy tickmarks/labels for a time series which spans daily data going back a bit over a year. Right now, I am getting only one tick mark on the x-axis for the beginning of 2008. How can I force plot.zoo to place more regular x-axis tick marks on a monthly basis ?
