Hi Marius, I actually prefer the first (default) arrangement, with the labels centered, but if you want to align the equals under the tick mark one option is to use axis() twice:
plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n") axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,"",4,5)) axis(1, at=3.15, tick=FALSE, labels=expression(3==beta[foooooo])) Sarah On Fri, Jun 3, 2011 at 7:02 AM, Marius Hofert <m_hof...@web.de> wrote: > Dear all, > > consider the following plot: > > plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n") > axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,expression(3==beta[foooooo]),4,5)) > > the label at 3 is not nice, so consider this > plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n") > axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,expression(3==beta[foooooo]),4,5), > padj=c(0,0,0.18,0,0)) > > Now I tried to move the label horizontally so that the equality sign is > vertically aligned with the tick. Since hadj moves all labels, I tried: > plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n") > axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,expression(3==beta[foooooo]),4,5), > hadj=c(0,0,0.22,0,0), padj=c(0,0,0.18,0,0)) > > Why is it not possible to individually move the labels horizontally? > Simply moving all of them does not look very good... > plot(1:5, 5:1, xaxt="n") > axis(1, at=1:5, labels=c(1,2,expression(3==beta[foooooo]),4,5), > hadj=0.22, padj=c(0,0,0.18,0,0)) > > Cheers, > > Marius > -- Sarah Goslee http://www.functionaldiversity.org ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
