Ricardo I suggest you modify the mar argument of par. For example,
barplot(1:10, names=rep(paste(letters[1:26], collapse=' '), 10), las=2) the labels won't fit with the default settings, so try: par(mar=c(20,4,4,2)) barplot(1:10, names=rep(paste(letters[1:26], collapse=' '), 10), las=2) There's a lot in ?par - it is worth studying closely ....
