Dear R Users, I am quite surprised to see that mtext gives different results when it is used with 'pairs' and with "plot'. In the two following codes, it seems that the 'at' argument in mtext doesn't consider the same unit system. I would appreciate your comments on this issue. Sebastien ##### Pairs mydata<-data.frame(x=1:10,y=1:10) par(cex.main=1,

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 all, Our quite basic function mtext() does wrong adjustments in some parameter configurations. This gets obvious when using multi line texts: There is no way to properly adjust text perpendicular to axis 2, for example. Best Jens Oehlschl?gel m <- matrix(1:9, 3) colnames(m) <- c("several\nlines", "several\nlines", "several\nlines") par(mfrow=c(2,2))

<> 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

Hi all, Quick question: What function can I use to draw a line in the margin of a plot? segments() and lines() both stop at the margin. In case the answer depends on exactly what I'm trying to do, see below. I'm using R v. 2.8.1 on Windows XP. Cheers, Alan I'm trying to make a horizontal barplot with a column of numbers on the right side. I'd like to put a line between the

Dear R experts, I am trying to save three plots using tiff graphics devices; however the following code only produces two files (Rplot002.tif and Rplot003.tif) showing figures 1 and 3. Here is a simplified ex code tiff(filename ="Rplot%03d.tif",width=24,height=20,units="cm",res=300, pointsize=10, compression = "lzw") plot(1) mtext("Fig

Hi all, I have read through the archives, but can't find a solution to this problem. I need the text direction on "dependent B", plotted in margin 4, to go top to bottom (opposite what it is now). Here's some sample code: #plot with mtext example par(mgp = c(2,1,0), mfrow=c(2,2), las=1, mar=c(2,2,2,2), omi= c(0.5,0.2,0,0.2)) a<-1:10 b<-7:16 c<-21:30 plot(a~b,

Hello, I have the following problem: I created an ecdf and a barplot. Unfortunatly, the bars are not where I would like them to be (please see picture below). http://www.nabble.com/file/p12877530/problem.gif That's my code: #------------------------ par(mfrow=c(2,1), mar=c(2,3,3,2)) #ECDF x = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2) F2.5 <- ecdf(x) plot(F2.5,

First of all, I apologize for the triple post, but I did not see that the word wrap on the r-help list site would render my code unusable. So here it is again. Hoping that this time it will work if you cut and paste it in your Rgui. I have a program that works well in Rgui but that does not work in a batch file (Execution halted). Here's the code (it will work on your R, but you need

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

Hi, I am trying to plot several time series plots with R, but I can't seem to get the x-axis properly formatted. What I am doing at the moment is: dates <- seq(as.Date("2007/06/10", "%Y/%m/%d"), as.Date("2010/03/28", "%Y/%m/%d"), 7) par(mfrow=c(5,2)) plot(DateJonEnd1, End1Jon, main="Weekly Training at Endurance 1",

Hello, Does anyone know if it's possible to change the text direction of mtext? I'd like to use 'mtext(side=2)' but the text should be 'left-to-right'. I couldn't find an argument for that in the help files.

I want to right-justify a vector of numbers in the right margin of a low-level plot. For this I need to compute the line parameter to give to mtext.

Dear all, I found the last example of this link ( https://sites.ualberta.ca/~lkgray/uploads/7/3/6/2/7362679/6c_-_line_plots_with_error_bars.pdf) very similar to the one I need to make for my paper, and I think I got what I wanted by applying some of the suggestions of this mail list. Here it is the code I devised (maybe there will be further improvements from the list): YEAR <- c(1996 ,

Dear R mailing list I would like some help on how to get R to display the same number of significant digits (?) for *all* tick marks on axis labels (yet be flexible enough to handle different data sets that vary by 10-1000X). Consider this simple example: #---------------------------# x <- seq(0,2,by=0.5) xlim <- range(pretty(x,n=5)) ylim <- xlim
