[R] vertically aligned X axis labels disappear off R Graphics window
Hi guys, I'm evaluating R for basic data exploration. I produce a bar plot of the data, with the x axis labels aligned vertically. However, the start of labels longer than about 10 characters are cut off by the bottom of the graphics window. I'd appreciate your help in properly spacing the space around a plot reserved for labels so that this problem can be avoided.
