Hello everyone,
i am currently creating a barplot.
This barplot takes a vector of ~200 datapoints.
Each datapoint represents one bar.

(Ok as you see, it is not only one barplot, but a series of barplots).
Now, these barplots represent a human chromosome. This means they are
ordered. For instance bar number 50, means position 50 in the human
chromosome. I would like to have x-axis labels showing this.
0.......................50..........................100.......................150........................200...................250
Yet i do not know how to accomplish this.
If you use the normal plot function, these numbers on the xaxis are
autogenerated, in case of a barplot, they are not, and i do not know how to
create these labels.
I would be happy about a solution.
The axis() function can draw whatever you ask for. The tricky thing is
to get the ticks in the right place, because a barplot doesn't have an
obvious x-axis scale. The secret is to save the result of the barplot
call: it contains the centres of the bars.
For example:
x <- rpois(200, 20)
centres <- barplot(x)
axis(1, at=centres[c(50, 100, 150)], labels=c(50, 100, 150))
box()
