Readers,
For this data set:
testvalues<-c(10,20,30,40)
How to amend the plot instruction:
plot(testvalues,ann=FALSE,type='l',yaxt='n',xaxt='n')
so that x axis ticks labels can be added to existing graph with
arbitrary value such as 0,100,200,300)?
Hi r2151,
If you want the labels to fit on the axis you will have to include this
information in the call to "plot":
plot(testvalues,ann=FALSE,type='l',yaxt='n',xaxt='n',ylim=c(0,300))
axis(2,at=c(0,100,200,300))
plot(testvalues,ann=FALSE,type='l',yaxt='n',xaxt='n',xlim=c(0,300))
axis(1,at=c(0,100,200,300))
The use of 'xlim' makes the graph unacceptable. Instead, it would be
better to plot:
plot(testvalues,ann=FALSE,type='l',yaxt='n')
The x-axis shows tick marks '1.0', '1.5', ...
It is required to replace these values with custom values (e.g. 10, 20... etc.)
Why not rescale the values before plotting, and use the automatic ticks?
You can lie about the user scale, but it doesn't always give a helpful
plot, e.g.
axis(1, at=1:4, labels=c(100, 300, 400, 200))
is kind of hard to interpret.
