All, I have:
sales <- c(2300,900,155,102,42,10) names(sales) <- c("Christmas","Valentine's Day", "Mother's Day","Father's Day", "Thanksgiving","New Year's Day") barplot(sales,ylim=c(0,2500)) But it doesn't place all of the name labels on the plot. So I tried: sales <- c(2300,900,155,102,42,10) names(sales) <- c("Christmas","Valentine's Day", "Mother's Day","Father's Day", "Thanksgiving","New Year's Day") barplot(sales,ylim=c(0,2500),las=2) But there wasn't enough room at the bottom margin for the labels. Then I tried: sales <- c(2300,900,155,102,42,10) names(sales) <- c("Christmas","Valentine's Day", "Mother's Day","Father's Day", "Thanksgiving","New Year's Day") barplot(sales,horiz=TRUE,xlim=c(0,2500),las=1) Still, not enough room in the margin for the labels. Now, I am going to be introducing students to barplots in R tonight and I'm looking for a simple way to fix this label problem without scaring them too much. Any thoughts?
