Dear R helpers
Suppose I am plotting a simple scatter plot where no of paired observations
(x,y) are say 100.
month length
1 10
2 12
3 17
4 21
5 13
..........................
..........................
..........................
100 16
when i run the command
plot(month, length)
the required plot is generated. But the problem is that on the X - axis, month
values are also printed and it becomes difficult to read the month values on
the graph.
(Actually I am working on a stacked graph where I am facing this problem.)
So, how to display only few month values (say 1, 5, 10 and so on) without
affecting the original graph i.e. the graph should display all the data 100
points but on x - axix only few month values should be displayed in order to
improve the readability.
Hi Julia,
Try this:
plot(month,length,xaxt="n")
axis(1,at=seq(1,100,by=5),labels=seq(1,100,by=5))
If the labels are still crowded, increase the "by" value.
Jim
