Dear R-help members
I would be grateful if anyone could help me with the following problem:
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
