similar to: lattice: horizontal alignment of labels in key

Hi everyone I'd like to flip grobs (grid graphical objects) along an axis, e.g. flip grobs horizontally or vertically. I couldn't find any hints, neither in the documentation nor by searching the web. Does anybody know how to achieve this? Cheers /thomas

Are there parameters that would allow adjusting y axis labels in lattice plots? E.g in the following simple example require(lattice) xyplot(rnorm(10) ~ 1:10, scales=list(alternating=2)) it would be nice to have the y axis labels adjusted to the right or at the decimal point instead of left adjustment.

Dear expeRts, How can I vertically adjust an axis tick label so that it is nicely aligned with the other labels? library(lattice) xyplot(0~0, xlim=c(0,3), scales=list(x=list(at=c(1,1.1), labels=c(expression(hat(theta)[italic(n)]),expression(theta))))) ## aim: move the leftmost expression up so that theta is nicely aligned with the second theta. Cheers, Marius

Dear R users, Below are some R commands which produce a y-axis label that is not wholly in the viewing area of the eps file (or the x11 window). I have tried experimenting with the postscript bounding box, and using such R commands as over(phantom(0),...) but I make the whole y-label visible. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I may fix this. (Please CC mailing list email to p.stansell

Dear R-List, I would like to write nicely the names of some isotopes on a plot. The code bellow works fine. plot(1:10,1:10) text(c(2,4,8),c(2,4,8),labels=c(expression(italic(phantom(0)^{78}*Ge)), expression(italic(phantom(0)^{137}*Cs)), expression(italic(phantom(0)^{129*m}*Te))), cex=3 ) But, since I have a lot of

Dear R users I'm looking for algorithms that assist in spreading out crowded labels, e.g. labels of points in a scatter plot, in order to obtain a nicer visual appearance and better legibility. I'm probably just stuck because I didn't find the right key words for a successful search on the R websites or in the mailing list archives. Any hints are appreciated. Thomas Zumbrunn

I'm trying to use a lattice function within a function and have problems passing the "groups" argument properly. Let's say I have a data frame d <- data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = c("a", "b")) and want to plot variable x in a densityplot, grouped by the variable y, then I would do something like densityplot(~ x, d, groups = y) If however I wanted to

Hi, I want my xyplot legend to be flat, not tall, and there seems to be no way for xyplot's auto.key and key elements to do this: I tried many, many permutations of what I could find in the archives and reading the documentation. If there there's a way to make it flat, please tell me what the magic incantation is. Here's a simple example of what I like to see. The xyplot will be a

Dear list, I'm trying to arrange various grid objects on a page using a frameGrob. It works fine with basic grobs (textGrob, gTree, etc.), and also with ggplot2 objects using the ggplotGrob() function. I am however stuck with lattice. As far as I understand, lattice produces a list of class trellis, which is eventually displayed using the plot.trellis method. I am not sure if/how one can

Hi, I want to remove minor-horizontal and minor-vertical lines from a plot generated with ggplot2. I can do this after the plot has been drawn using grid.gremove. However, I would like to do it before drawing my plot. The ggplot2 book refers to a ggplotGrob function which creates a grob from a plot but this function doesn't seem to exist in ggplot2 0.6. Is there another way to do it?

Dear R-List, I want to use the label function (from Hmisc library) to allow for the names of my isotopes. library(Hmisc) library(lattice) library(grid) num <- c("78","137","129m") nom <- c("Ge","Cs","Te") df <- data.frame(GE78=seq(nom),CS137=seq(nom),TE129m=seq(nom)) if I use this function to create the labels : lab <-

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

Dear list, As a minimal test of a more complex grid layout, I'm trying to find a clean and efficient way to arrange text grobs in a rectangular layout. The labels may be expressions, or text with a fontsize different of the default, which means that the cell sizes should probably be calculated using grobWidth() and grobHeight() as opposed to simpler stringWidth() and stringHeight().

<> 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

This results in wrongly proportioned plots, wrongly positioned text etc. Other devices are not affected. I already asked

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"?

Hello, I have a y-axis label that reads: "S. schenckii yeast cells". The part that reads "S. schenckii" needs to be in italic style, the rest of the text is normal style. How can I specify the different font styles for each part of the y-axis label? Thank you, Judith

The xyplot help page gives quite a lot of information how to use key and indicates that legend needs to be used if multiple keys are needed. However, it gives only a brief description of what the grob needs to contain to do multiple keys. I've only used the occasional grid function in panel functions, so I don't have much of a sense of how grobs are constructed. I've been unable to

I find myself wanting to plot three graphs side by side 'as if' they were panels -- that is, with the same y-axis limits, no space between the graphs, and precise vertical alignment of the plot areas. However, I don't want strip titles; I want each graph to have its own x-axis label, on the bottom of the plot. The best way I have so far found to do this is to fake up a data frame that
