Hi. I have a question about the taylor.diagram() in plotrix package. How can
I control the label "correlation"? In the embedded figure you can see the
label "correlation" is too close to the ticks. How can I move it and make it
larger?
Another problem is the labels "0.95" and "0.99" are too close to the
plotting area. I do not find any method to control it.
I have been struggling in this problem for a long time. Thanks a lot if
anyone can help.

Hi baydap,
I'm not sure why the labels are coming out so close to the outer
circumference, it may be your plotting device. I have noticed that text
size and spacing changes quite a bit between devices. The quickest way
out is to alter the code a bit. Change these lines:
text(cos(c(bigtickangles,acos(c(0.95,0.99))))*1.05*maxsd,
sin(c(bigtickangles,acos(c(0.95,0.99))))*1.05*maxsd,
c(seq(0.1,0.9,by=0.1),0.95,0.99))
text(maxsd*0.75,maxsd*0.8,"Correlation")
to:
text(cos(c(bigtickangles,acos(c(0.95,0.99))))*1.1*maxsd,
sin(c(bigtickangles,acos(c(0.95,0.99))))*1.05*maxsd,
c(seq(0.1,0.9,by=0.1),0.95,0.99))
text(maxsd*0.85,maxsd*0.8,"Correlation")
change the function name to something like taylor.diagram2 and source
the new function after loading plotrix and before running your code.
