Dear David,
I intended to use another x-label. But your suggestion brings me to
the idea of just using a two-line xlab, so s.th. like
print(xyplot(0 ~ 0, xlab.top = "This title is now 'centered' for the
human's eye", xlab = "but subtitles are _now_ centered\nbla", scales
= list(alternating = c(1,1), tck = c(1,0))))
And if you wanted different fontface (underline, italic or bold) then
you could use plotmath expressions:
xyplot(0 ~ 0, xlab.top = "This title is now 'centered' for the human's
eye", xlab =
expression( atop(but~subtitles2~are~underline(now)~centered,
bold(bla) )), scales = list(alternating = c(1,1), tck = c(1,0)))
--
David.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Marius

Dear expeRts,
I recently asked for a real "centered" title (see, e.g., http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e13/help/11/01/0135.html)
.
A nice solution (from Deepayan Sarkar) is to use "xlab.top"
instead of "main":
library(lattice)
trellis.device("pdf")
print(xyplot(0 ~ 0, xlab.top = "This title is now 'centered' for
the human's eye", sub = "but subtitles are not centered", scales =
list(alternating = c(1,1), tck = c(1,0))))
dev.off()
library(lattice)
trellis.device("pdf")
print(xyplot(0 ~ 0, xlab.top = "This title is now 'centered' for
the human's eye", xlab = "but subtitles are _now_ centered", scales
= list(alternating = c(1,1), tck = c(1,0))))
dev.off()
(I realize that those are not really subtitles by a 'lab', but that
appears acceptable in your current test case.)
My question is whether there is something similar for *sub*titles
[so something like "xlab.bottom"]? As you can see from the plot,
the subtitle does not seem to be "centered" for the human's eye. I
would like to center it according to the x-axis label.
