Dear all,
I am following instructions of FAQ 7.2 (
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f)
to create rotated labels in my plots, but I am facing some problems when
plotting variables with small values (in my case, values between 0.001 and
0.007).
When I try to plot these small values, the X-label of my plot doesn't
appear. Please find below the example I am trying to run:
#Definition of my variable and of the labels
a<-c(0.007,0.0004,0.0001)
laba<-c("number1","number2","number3")
#This plot doesn't work fine (label doesn't appear)
par(mar = c(7, 4, 4, 2) + 0.1)
plot(a,xaxt="n",xlab="",ylab="Y-Label")
axis(1,labels=FALSE,tick=FALSE)
mtext(1,text="X-Label",line=6)
text(1:length(a), par("usr")[3] - 0.25, srt = 45, adj = 1,labels = a, xpd =
TRUE,cex=0.75)
#If I just multiply my variable, the plot works fine (label appears)
par(mar = c(7, 4, 4, 2) + 0.1)
plot(1000*a,xaxt="n",xlab="",ylab="Y-Label")
axis(1,labels=FALSE,tick=FALSE)
mtext(1,text="X-Label",line=6)
text(1:length(a), par("usr")[3] - 0.25, srt = 45, adj = 1,labels = laba,
xpd = TRUE,cex=0.75)
Do you have any idea about why is it happening? I much appreciate any help!
I am using R version 2.10.1 in a machine with Ubuntu 12.04 (unfortunately I
don't have the "power" to upgrade this machine :( ).
Best regards,
Charles
