Hey, I am trying to create barplot of abundances over time (in days). The period is over 171 days, so I don't want to have all labels there but only the first day of the month. I couldn't find anything like this on the forum yet. Mostrly it's about year to year data.
This is the relevant part of my table: datum month abundance 26/03/11 March 1 27/03/11 March 0 28/03/11 March 1 29/03/11 March 0 30/03/11 March 0 31/03/11 March 0 1/04/11 April 0 2/04/11 April 0 3/04/11 April 0 ... 9/09/11 September 1 I tried making a sequence: hatch$axis.ticks2=seq(from=hatch$datum[1],to=hatch$datum[171], by=30) But this sequence is too short to use the names.arg function. Next, I tried more ideas from this forum that might work. But the best I got was by just replacing the day by a month and reducing the size of the tickmarks. Or by blanking excessive labels in R commander. But this is really poor substitute of what I actually want. Furthermore, in the end I want the labels vertical to match other graphs (las=2), but when doing that my labels become so dense it's basically one black blur. bar=barplot(abundance, col="black",xlab="", ylim=c(0,120), axisnames=T, ylab="Total fish",axis.lty=1) axis(1,at=bar, tcl=-0.01, las=1,lab=hatch$month,cex.axis=0.8) I hope I made my problem clear. Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/barplot-tp4631070.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.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.
