[R] barplots - text direction
If the variable names are too long to allow room for each to be displayed on a barplot, how can the direction of the text be changed? a - cbind(2.4,2.4,2.5,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.6,2.9,2.9,2.9) b - cbind(2.3,2.5,2.4,2.2,3.2,2.4,2.9,2.6,2.9,3.0,2.8) h - rbind(a,b) colnames(h) - c(one,two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight,nine,ten,eleven) rownames(h) - c(Pre-stage,Post-stage) barplot(h, beside = T, legend = colnames(g), horiz = T, xlim = c(0, 5)) Many Thanks Murray Murray Pung | Research Analyst AIM Research HR Consulting PO Box 328, Nth Sydney NSW 2060 P +61 (02) 9956 3951 F +61 (02) 9922 2210 www.aimsurveys.com.au __ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
Re: [R] barplots - text direction
See las under ?par. You can often pass par parameters to higher-level graphics functions, so barplot(h, las=2) (for example) works. HTH, Simon.
