I am currently submitting final copies of graphics to a journal for publication
and they are asking that the fonts used in the plots are times new roman and 10
pt. I set the font size when I call the graphics device and in the par
statement to 10. However, when I create a plot, the tick labels and axis
labels are not 10 pts. I know I can use the cex commands to scale the fonts,
but is there a way to set an absolute size for these parameters.
Here is some dummy code that demonstrates my issue.
rm(list = ls())
graphics.off()
quartz(width=2.5,height=7,pointsize=10,family="serif")
par(mfrow=c(3,1),mar=c(3.5,3.5,0,0)+0.1,ps=10,family="serif")
plot(rnorm(10),rnorm(10),col="white")
mtext("Font Size 10",side=1,line=-15)
par(ps=5)
mtext("Font Size 5",side=1,line=-13)
par(ps=7)
mtext("Font Size 7",side=1,line=-11)
Examining the text printed in the plot suggests to me that the plot text is
approximately 7pt instead of 10pt
Thanks,
Noah
