Well, is it `titles' (subject) or `x- and y-labels', and if the latter do 
you mean 'labels' (as in axis) or 'xlab' (as in title)?

Do you want some or all of the annotation in Times or Arial, or some in 
each.  (On devices which support Arial it is the default.)

And on which device and which version of R?

If this is on Windows, see the rw-FAQ and the help on Rdevga, and choose 
an appropriate value of the graphics par 'font' (normally 1 for Arial and 
6 for Times).  Otherwise, consider par(family).

Hi
Almost all graphic manipulation is done by par() setting. Sometimes 
you can issue a par argument directly in plot() command so for 
Windows

plot(, font.lab = integer.number.to specify.predefined.font)

however I believe that font issue is device and OS specific and you 
shall read (and try)

?par
?plot
?text
?axis


see also Rdevga file for predefined fonts

Hello, 
how can use change the plot function to change the range of axises. I want my graph from a certain range [a, b], instead of  from the min to max of of datas?
if i want draw a line instead of dots, should i use both plot and lines function.
for example:
plot(x, y);
lines(x, y);
 
things seem not working if i only use lines(x, y).
 
Thank you so much.

the first see also entry in the help text for plot is 
plot.default. well, do that: try ?plot.default. time estimate for 
finding it yourself: one minute. you really should think about using the 
online help. if everybody would use your approach, the list would 
probably get a thousand 'hits' per hour of the quality: is there a way 
to speed up matrix addition? the for loops run too slow.

Try this,
plot(x,y,xlim=c(a,b),ylim=c(c,d))
lines(z,q) will only add lines onto an existing plot, not create a new plot!
Have a look at:

Cheers, Henrik

Re: [R] plot function

2005-01-26 Thread Petr Pikal
Hi

first of all do

?plot
?lines


and read the help page (especially about parameters xlim and ylim) 
and/or try to use examples provided.

plot(1:100, rnorm(100), xlim=c(1,50), type=l)

Cheers
Petr
