[R] Better y-axis labels, and x-axis scaling
Hello I'm plotting some data using matplot with a logarithmic scale on the y-axis. This is the call to matplot I'm using: matplot(turns, distances, type = l, log = y, lty = solid, ylab = , xlab = Time steps, col = c(black)) The values for the 'distances' vector are always between 0 and 1. The result can be seen at http://sneakymustard.com/tmp/plot.jpg As you can see, the default y axis labels are not very nice, as it uses irregular intervals. I tried using variations of axis(2, at = pretty(c(0, ceiling(max(distances))), 5)) or yaxp = c(round(mind, 2), round(maxd, 2), -4) in the matplot() call. Is there anything else I could try for better labeling of values between 0 and 1 in a log-scale axis? Hints or pointers to the appropriate docs are appreciated :) Also, is there a command/option to change the plotted spacing between the labels in a plot? In the plot above, I'd like to make the space between each label in the x-axis smaller (maybe something similar to the width/space options in barplot()).

[R] Multiple barplots on the same axis
Hi R newbie here :) I need to plot 3 barplots in the same axis, something like | | ___ | | | _| | _| | _ | _ | || | _ | || | _ | || | | | || || || || || || || || | -+- | v1 v2 v3 Is there any documentation describing how to achieve that, and what data file layout would make the job easier?
