similar to: axis label config mgp

I have re-labeled tick marks on the x axis. The problem is that by using axes=FALSE, the axes disappears and when they are called back using axis(side=1)..etc. the axis on sides 1 and 2 do not meet at the bottom left corner of the graph. I would also like to have the 3rd and 4th axes in there as well, all meeting in their respective corners. par(mfrow=c(1,2)) gut<-c("Full",

I thought that's nice, because I wanted to have tick marks and tick labels inside and the axis title outside. But: > plot(z, las=1,

The `par' help does not document this behaviour. The following code demonstrates my observation: plot.new(); par(mgp = c(3, 2, 1)); box(); title(xlab =

It seems that when an argument 'mgp' is supplied to axis(), the mgp[2] value (position of tick mark labels) is honoured but the mgp[3] value (position of axis line) is ignored. Example: plot(1:5, xaxt='n', ann=FALSE) par(mgp=c(0,2,1)) axis(1, at=2:4, mgp=c(0,-2,-3)) Axis line is plotted at margin line 1, tick mark labels at line -3. Is this a bug? J. R. M. Hosking

Thanks to Brian Ripley I have been using R utilities for some time for converting S-Plus UNIX nroff help files to .Rd to .html files. .Rd files seem to be the most natural format for help files and this format is probably easier to maintain than nroff, so I would like to start using .Rd files as my master documentation format if anyone has a utility for going from .Rd to nroff. I guess I could

Dear R-wizards! I want to move the axis label of the y-axis a little bit more apart from the border of the plot (otherwise, it would overlap with my horizontal numbering). 'par(mgp(3.5, 1, 0))' does it properly. Unfortunately, it also moves the x-axis label which does not look good. Is there a way to specify 'mgp' for each axis separately or is there another way to move just

I just installed 99.0a, and I can't set mar and mgp: > par(mar(2,2,.1,.1)) Error in par(mar(2, 2, .1, .1)) : couldn't find function "mar" I had the same happen with mgp. Are these bugs or a problem in my installation (everything else seems OK)? Is R core going to kill mar and mgp? If so, how should I fix the huge margins and huge space between axis title and axis? Try this

Hi all, I consider myself a somewhat experienced user of R, but have struggled with this for a while now. to the point where I just end up pulling the entire graph together in powerpoint and fixing it up from there. How does one adjust the horizontal/vertical positions of axis titles? I've tried using mgp in the par function, but that never produces anything satisfactory as x and y-axes are

R users, This should be simple, but I cannot figure it out. I import test.csv, then create a subset for "brook_dis". When I plot (week, R) I get a nice boxplot, but along the x axis, there are weeks a, b, c along with h and nh. Thank you ahead of time. keith rm(list=ls()) cond.exp1<-read.csv("condition/test.csv",header=TRUE) sub<-subset(cond.exp1,

Z is a matrix and when I run the following line, it creates a prediction estimate using each column, how can I get it an estimate for each individual number. I have tried changing Z to a data.frame, but this does not do it either. model.lm<-lm(w~x) pred.est <- predict.lm(model.lm, data.frame(x=Z)) Thanks in advance, keith -- Keith Cox, Ph.D. Sitka Sound Science Center Fisheries

Matt, I know you are probably busy with work, but I cannot help buy asking you these R questions. If it is bothersome, please let me know and I will stick with the R help... but I have two matrices X [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [1,] 660 693.00 726.0 759.00 792.0 825.00 [2,] 548 575.40 602.8 630.20 657.6 685.00 [3,] 676 709.80 743.6 777.40 811.2 845.00 [4,] 763 801.15 839.3

Hello, I am trying to use mgp.axis labels to locate the x-xis at a different distance from the one specified for the y-axis. I know I could use other functions such as mtext or axis. But I am curious to know about how to use 'mgp'axis.labels' from the Hmisc package. I tried following the example in the documentation without success. Sample code: x<-1:10 y<-1:10

Dear R Users, close to the end of this I used wireframe to create a 3D plot from a matrix. The x and y axis tick labels (1-6) for each were created from the matrix being a 6X6 matrix. I need the axis tick labels to be the row and column headings which you can see in the output (mat.x). I have tried several work arounds, but they have not been successful. Thanks in advance. keith rm(list=ls())

Hi, I'am trying to make a multiple bar plot over a map and I'm having difficulties with the distance between axes labels and the axis. Trying to control this with mgp does not help because it controls both axes simultaneously. For example, with default values (mgp = c(3, 1, 0)) y-axis labels are ok, but x-axis labels are not. Setting mgp = c(3, 0, 0) gives good x-axis labels but the

Suppose I have the bottom axis of a plot that looks like: ----+----+----+----+----+----+---- | | | | | | 1 2 3 4 5 6 Axis title 1. How do I reduce the gap between the ends of the ticks and the axis labels (numbers)? 2. How do I vary the gap between the bottom of the axis labels and the top of the axis title? I have looked in various places

Apologies for the previous mail (I sent it off too early by mistake). This is the correct example: rm(list=ls()) D_mean<-seq(-5,5,length=100) y<-exp(-D_mean^2/5) pdf("my.pdf") plot(D_mean,y,type="l",yaxt="n",lty=2,lwd=2,col="black", ylab = list(expression(paste(dN/dlogD[agg]," ["*cm^-3*"]"))), xlab = expression(paste(D[agg],"

Dear all, I'm trying to produce 2 png files, one consisting of an image plot and a color-table (also an image plot) and the other one consisting of 4 image plots and a color table. I'd like the color table to be exactly the same. The way I proceded is the following: for one plot and the color-table png(file = png.file, width = 650, height = 800, pointsize = 16) layout(matrix(c(1, 2),

Hi, I have created a plot using filled.contour() and have the problem that one of the axis titles and an axis label are overlapping. I have tried changing par()$mgp (with, e.g. par(mgp=c(4,1,0)) ), but this just makes the title go off the screen. I can't work out how to make the plot take up less space in the window, so I can hopefully change mgp and sort the problem. Is changing mgp the only
