similar to: how to use axes=FALSE to get multple plots?

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

Dear r-helpers, In basic graphics, I have a figure with x and y axes suppresed. I would like to move the xlab and the ylab closer to the axes. Do I have to use mtext()? _____________________________ Professor Michael Kubovy University of Virginia Department of Psychology USPS: P.O.Box 400400 Charlottesville, VA 22904-4400 Parcels: Room 102 Gilmer Hall McCormick Road

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

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

Hello. I am trying to get my axis label to read as follows (The symbol) Delta AUC blah blah... then below it...(some other text) The problem is the Delta symbol shows up beside the "(some other text)" rather than the "AUC". Does any one know how I can get the Delta to remain beside AUC? Here is the actual command should you care to look at it. par(mar=c(8,8,4,4))

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 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. X11() conif<-c("Control", "Switched

How can I change the position of the ylab, after enlarging the margins with par(mar=...)? Here is the relevant code snippet ---- par(mar=c(5.1,5.1,4.1,2.1)) plot(c(1979,2003),c(40,50),ylim=c(1,73),lab=c(20,10,1),pch=21,col='blue',bg='blue',axes=FALSE,xlab="Years",ylab="Onset/Withdrawl Date",font.lab=2) box() axis(1,las=2)

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-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

Hi, Bert: Yes, I studied the functions you suggested, but I didn't get to adapt it to my example whose reproducible code I sent in my first email. Here it is the code of the functions I studies: ## par par(mfrow = c(2, 3)) par(cex = 0.6) par(mar = c(3, 3, 0, 0), oma = c(1, 1, 1, 1)) for (i in 1:6) { plot(1, 1, type = "n") mtext(letters[i], side = 3, line = -1, adj = 0.1, cex =

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,

Hi You are quite close. With slight modification of your code: par(mfrow = c(2, 1)) par(cex = 0.6) par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0), oma = c(4, 4, 0.5, 0.5)) par(tcl = -0.25) par(mgp = c(2, 0.6, 0)) plot(BUD~YEAR, type="o", ann=F, axes=F, pch=19, ylim=c(60,100),data=g1) axis(4, las=2) mtext("Bud Break (Julian Day)", side=4, padj=4) arrows(g1$YEAR,g1$BUD, g1$YEAR,g1$BUD + g1$BUD_SE,

I am trying to use wireframe at the moment and the axis labels are overlapping with the tick labels. It seems that gpar does not yet utilize the mgp argument. Is there anyway to manipulate the position of the axis labels? The best I can manage so far is to manipulate the cex so as to shrink everything down. thanks, Carlo Maley -- Dr. Carlo C.

Hello everyone I have problem with axis labels on graphs, I have my code as below: plot(0,0,xlim=c(1,ncol(PA)),ylim=c(1,nrow(PA)),main="Stratigraphic Range",xlab="Time Bins",ylab="Taxa",cex.axis=1.5,cex.lab=2,cex.main=2.5,mgp=c(5,1.5,0),xaxt="n") text(1:(length(strat_name)), y= 0, adj=1, srt=45,labels=strat_name,xpd=TRUE, cex=1) #adds text to x

Hi Folks, I've been digging for the solution to this for several hours now. If there is a solution, it must be one of the worst "needle-in-a-haystack" examples in R documentation! Essentially, I want to make an x-y plot in which the X-axis really is the X-axis (i.e. its vertical position is at y=0), and the Y-axis really is the Y-axis (i.e. its horizontal position is at x=0).

Hello I was wondering how I can achieve matlab style plotting in R, in the sense that matlab allows you to plot multiple sets of variables within the same x-y axes. plot in R does not seem to cater for this. I tried 'overplot' from the gplots package but this assumes different y axes for the variables. any suggestions would be very appreciated Maria [[alternative HTML version

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, How can I make the distance between an axis-label and the axis bigger? I haven't found anything in par()...

Hi R-users, I inted to make multiple plots using for loop. The question is how can I adjust the left hand side margin of the plot according to the names.arg argument in barplot2. In every plot I have different annotations in the y axis and they vary in length. Now when I have fixed margins opar <- par(mar=c(3,15,0,2)... I get the same margins in all of the plots. That leaves lots of white
