Hi, >From the documentation for ?plot 'asp' the y/x aspect ratio, see 'plot.window'. Here is a little demonstration of what different values would look like:
############# set.seed(1) x <- rnorm(n = 1000, mean = 0, sd = 1) # so that four plots can be in one window for comparison par(mfcol=c(2,2)) # Make the four plots with a variety of aspect ratios plot(x = x, asp = 2000) plot(x = x, asp = 10) plot(x = x, asp = 1) plot(x = x, asp = 1/2) ############## Cheers, Josh On Thu, Aug 19, 2010 at 2:13 PM, r.ookie <r.oo...@live.com> wrote: > set.seed(1) > x <- rnorm(n = 1000, mean = 0, sd = 1) > plot(x = x, asp = 2000) > > Could someone please explain what the 'asp' parameter is doing? > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > -- Joshua Wiley Ph.D. Student, Health Psychology University of California, Los Angeles http://www.joshuawiley.com/ ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
