similar to: axis labels in multiple plots

Hi, I wonder if it is possible with the graphics package to overlay one or several plots (barplots, for example) over a map. Data for the map is in a data frame with the latitude and longitude coordinates, and then: > plot(map$long, map$lat, type ="l") produces the map. I want to put each barplot in specific locations on the map, namely at the center of "statistical

Hi, I'm sure this one is very easy.... I am trying to write a function where one of its arguments has two posible (strings) values, defaulting to one of them if none is specified. My problem is that when evaluating the function the following warning is produced: "the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used" I've read the help page of if() but I

Is it possible to add lines or other user defined graphics to a plot in R that does not depend on the user scale for the plot? For example I have a plot plot(x,y) and I want to add some graphic that is scaled in inches or cm but I do not want the graphic to change when the x-y scales are changed - like a thermometer, scale bar or other symbol - How does one do this? I want to build my own

I am trying to plot a figure within a figure (an inset that shows a closeup of part of the data set). I have searched R-help and other sources but not found a solution. What I would like to do is (1) produce a plot (2) specify a window that will be used for the next plot (in inches or using the coordinate system of the plot produced in (1) (3) overlay a new plot in the window specified under (2)

Full_Name: Cornell Gonschior Version: 2.10.0 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (212.201.28.40) Hi, in the introduction to R, you can find the following sentence in the par() chapter: "Use tck=0.01 and mgp=c(1,-1.5,0) for internal tick marks." 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,

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

Hi I want to draw a rectangle behind a barplot such that it highlights those particular bars from the rest of the plot. I have figured out how to draw a barplot(), and then how to draw a rectangle of the correct shape and size (using rect()), but when I use rect() it draws over the top of the bars, and then when I re-draw the bars, it draws with a white background, thus eliminating my rectangle!

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

Hi, I?m trying to install new package in R (version 2.4.0) under windows vista and i have problems. I always receive the same message: Erro en zip.unpack(pkg, tmpDir) : no fue posible abrir el archivo 'C:/Program Files/R/R-2.4.0/library/file2019500d/mprobit/libs/mprobit.dll' It can?t open the file. I check the compatibility with the version and is ok, I have no idea where's the problem

I have long axis labels (8units) on the x axis and 2 unit number labels on the y axis. I need to move the x axis title without moving the y axis title. I have used mgp=c(title, label and line), but mgp moves both the x and y titles. The following puts the y axis title way way out to the left. Anyone know how to move just the x axis.

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],"

Hello, I am trying to port one of my plotting S+ functions to R and I am having difficulties!!! I am including here only the troublesome code! I first produce a barplot, saving the positions of the bar's centers. par(mar = c(6.1, 5.1, 4.1, 4.1), mgp = c(3, 3.0, 0)) ticks.loc <- barplot(sum.of.weights, col = 5, xlab = "", ylab = "", axes =

Hi, I would like to convert my "character" sequences in my matrix/ data.frame into "numeric" where it is possible. I would also like to retain my alphabetic character strings in their original forms. "5.1" > 5.1 "hm" > "hm" k<-matrix(c("aa", "bb", 1,2, 4.3, 0), nrow=2) mode(k) <- "numeric" #

I'd like to make a plot with the axes drawn at the values of xlim and ylim. The default plot draws the axes slightly outside these values. I have been experimenting with the par(mgp) setting, but specifying par(mgp=c(2,0,-1)) gives me "invalid value specified for graphics parameter "mgp".". A more complicated mathod that almost seems to work is doing the plot with

Hi, I'm building a graph (barplot) in which the X axis label disappears. I tried to use the option mgp of par() and I could not get the desired result. Note that want the axis labels horizontally. caes = c(37,20,19,16,75,103) names(caes) = c("Pinscher", "Pastor \n Alem?o", "Poodle", "Rottweiller", "SRD", "Outros") caess =

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

Dear list, I would like to plot arrows with different colors according to arrow length, and also (if possible) with head size proportional to arrow length. The idea is to make a quiver-like plot of matlab with wind speed data. So far, I´ve been able to use different colors, but I need to find a more efficient way to recode arrow length intervals into colors. On the contrary, I can't define

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
