Hello, I am very interested in "banking to 45 degrees" as defined by William S. Cleveland in "Visualizing Data." I like to do it in R as well as Excel, etc. With R I have come across the following method:
xyplot(x, y, aspect="xy") (part of "lattice" package) which will bank my graph to 45 degrees. My question is how do I obtain the aspect ratio that banks this graph to 45 degrees? I understand that R does it for me, but I would like to explicitly know the aspect ratio so that I can configure other graphs in Excel or other software. aspect ratio = v / h (v is vertical distance of plot, h is horizontal distance of plot. NOT in the data units, but true, actual distance). I've also come across "banking ()", but I don't understand it, nor the significance of the value it returns. Regardless, it doesn't seem to be the aspect ratio that I am looking for. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance! ~Josh _________________________________________________________________ Refresh_family_safety_052008 ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
