Udo,
You can try inserting a newline where you need the break in your labels:
> dd.names <- c('Conduct Disorders','Attention Deficit', 'Eating Disorders',
'Substance Abuse','Developmental Disorders')
> dd.names.2 <- sapply(dd.names, function(x) gsub("\\s", "\\\n", x))
> barplot(dd, names.arg=dd.names.2)

> Dear List,
> I need a barplot with vertical bars. Each bar should have a label.
> The problem is, that the labels are too long, so they
> overlap, or only every seccond label is displayed in the output.
>
> Here is a little syntax:
>
> dd <- c(100,110,90,105,95)
> barplot(dd,names.arg=c('Conduct Disorders','Attention Deficit',
> 'Eating Disorders',
> 'Substance Abuse','Developmental Disorders'))
>
> My question is, if there is a chance to force a line break in
> each label.
>
> The result shoud look like this:
>
> Bar1 Bar2 Bar3 Bar4 Bar5
> Conduct Attention Eating Substance Developmental
> Disorders Disorders Disorders Abuse Disorders
>
>
>
> The result could also look like this:
>
> Bar1 Bar2 Bar3 Bar4 Bar5
> | | | | |
> Conduct Disorders | Eating Disordes |
> Developmental Disordes
> | |
> Attention deficit Substance Abuse
>

> Many thanks in advance
