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.
Use pdf() or ps()?
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 10ptThanks, Noah ---- Noah R.
