Hi,
thank you very much, looks awesome!
I changed a few minor things. Right now I have a some last questions (i sent
them also to R help)
1: I changed the font style of the plant names (along x-axis, under the bars) to
"italic" . How can I avoid that the font in the legend also changes to "italic"?
2. I would like to place the plant names (along x-axis, under the bars) in a
way that :
a) the first plant name is under the first bar (now the first name is too much to the
right). If I change the x value under "text" all names are shifted to this one
x-coordinate.
b)the plant names should start all on the same "height" (e.g. all exactly on
y=-6.5. Now they are misplaced
Any ideas?
Thank you very much
Michi
