Hi Can anyone please help me in understanding the utility of "padj" and "outer (logical)" values in the '*mtext function*' given below are the output I generated on using the below code which is different from the formula description on r help
> par(mfrow=c(2,1),xpd=NA) > y1 <- rnorm(100) > plot(y1,ann=F,axes=F,type="l") > box(col="blue") > mtext("aone",side=1,padj=0) > mtext("aone",side=1,padj=1) > mtext("aone",side=2,padj=1) > mtext("aone",side=2,padj=0) and the output is in the attached jpeg This is different from the r help description padj adjustment for each string perpendicular to the reading direction (which is controlled by adj). For strings parallel to the axes, padj = 0means right or top alignment, and padj = 1 means left or bottom alignment. Also please explain the utility of setting outer = TRUE/FALSE # I know that logical values permit/prohibit use of outer region but again I am unable to see that happening plot(y1,ann=F,axes=F,type="l") > box(col="blue") > mtext("aone",side=1,adj=0,outer=F) > mtext("aone",side=1,adj=0,outer=T) > # nothing changes when I change the settings of outer from false to true- why? > mtext("aone",side=3,adj=0,outer=T) > # again nothing happens why? > mtext("aone",side=3,adj=0,outer=F) (please see mtext2.jpg for the output that I am generating for different logical values of Outer) Thanks in advance for the help Regards Ravi <file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/ravi.kapoor/Desktop/mtext.pdf>
