My apologies. Second line should be
title(main="Histogram of ...",cex.main=0.5)

Actually I just realized you can also do 
hist(rnorm(100),xlab="Data",ylab="Count",cex.main=0.5)

...this way you don't have to call title() separately.

hist(rnorm(100),xlab="Data",ylab="Count",main="")
title(main="Histogram of ...",cex=0.5)

see ?par for details on xlab, ylab, main, and cex arguments.
You can call these from title() or include them in hist().
I called title(main=..) separately to control its size separately
from the rest of the text (axis and tick labels).

dat <- rnorm(100)
hist(dat, ylab = "Count", cex.main = 0.7, xlab = "Something else")

for example.

But this is all R 101 and you could have found this by reading the "An
Introduction to R" manual that comes with your R installation or can be
found at the R website (www.r-project.org Manuals section of menu), and
by reading the help for ?hist and ?par (for cex.main).

Please do.

First of all, this is not a "Help Desk".

Second, please make sure that you put an informative subject line: I thought 
this was spam and was going to delete it.

Thanks,
Ranjan

[R] queries

2007-04-22 Thread Nima Tehrani
Dear Help Desk,
   
  Is there any way to change some of the labels on R diagrams? 
   
  Specifically in histograms, I would like to: 
   
  1. change the word frequency to count. 
  2. Make the font of the title (Histogram of …) smaller.
  3. Have a different word below the histogram than the one 
occurring in the title (right now if you choose X for your variable, it comes 
both above the histogram (in the phrase Histogram of X) and below it).
   
  Thanks for your time,
  Nima
