If you are using a Windows system, you can Export the plot from RStudio and save it as a metafile without using package devEMF and it will crop the bars with xpd=FALSE. When I used devEMF on a Windows machine, the bars were not cropped with barplot() as you indicated, but when I switched to plotrix::barp() they were cropped. The arguments are a bit different, but I did not need xpd=FALSE:
emf("TestPlot.emf") barp(t(mydata), col=c("orange", "green", "yellow", "purple"), ylim=c(50,70), legend.lab=colnames(mydata), legend.pos="topright") dev.off() ------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of EYSSAUTIER Stéphanie Sent: Monday, April 25, 2016 9:53 AM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] ylim in barplot() Dear useRs, I'm having troubles with using ylim in barplot(): even though I reduce the y-scale using ylim, the bars still extend down to 0into the x-labels. The sample data is below, and here is the code. #This works fine but I would like to plot only from 50 to 70: barplot(t(mydata), beside=TRUE, col=c("orange", "green", "yellow", "purple"), legend=TRUE, las=2, axis.lty=1) #This is the ylim version with the bar problem: barplot(t(mydata), beside=TRUE, col=c("orange", "green", "yellow", "purple"), ylim=c(50,70), legend=TRUE, las=2, axis.lty=1) #I have tried using xpd=FALSE and this works fine withinRguior Rstudio but not when I plot within devEMF::emf() barplot(t(mydata), beside=TRUE, col=c("orange", "green", "yellow", "purple"), ylim=c(50,70), legend=TRUE, las=2, axis.lty=1, xpd=FALSE) I need the emf file to edit the plot. Why isn't it working with ylim alone? And why doesn't xpd work with emf()?
