Dear R-community, maybe someone can help me with this: I've been using the loess() smoother for quite a while now, and for the matter of documentation I'd like to resolve the acronym LOESS. Unfortunately there's no explanation in the help file, and I didn't get anything convincing from google ei

Re: [R] xlim/ylim and actual axis length

2010-05-26 Thread Peter Neuhaus
Quoting Duncan Murdoch : If you use xaxs="i" in your call, the axes won't be extended. If you want them extended by something other than the default amount, you should probably use both xaxs="i" and xlim=... for fine control. perfect! Thank you very much. Peter

[R] xlim/ylim and actual axis length

2010-05-26 Thread Peter Neuhaus
Dear plotting wizards, when plotting in R, the actual lengths of the axes are slightly greater than the ranges of the x/y variables or xlim/ylim values. how do I control the amount by which the axes are enlarged? Is there a way to enforce that the lengths of the axes equal xlim/ylim? example:

[R] problem with multiple plots (mfrow, mar)

2010-02-18 Thread Peter Neuhaus
Dear R-users, I often stack plots that have the same x-axis. To save space and have the plots themselves as large as possible I like to minimize the margins between the plots to zero. I use the "mfrow" and "mar" parameters to achieve this. However, the different margin settings for the individua
