Hi, I wonder if there is a way to selectively manipulate the position of the axis labels (i.e., the numbers). As far as I get it from ?par the only way to manipulate it is via mgp = c(x,y,z), where z is the relevant number. However, this manipulates the position of the axis labels for both the x- and y-axis.
The reason I want to do this is that I have the impression that when using the standard values, the x-axis labels are somewhat further from the axis ticks than the y-axis labels. To make both more similar I would like to position the x-axis labels a little bit nearer to the axis. I know I can work around this problem by suppressing one axis (yaxt="n") and then adding it afterwards via axis(side=2,...). But I wonder if one cannot do this in a better way (hey, it is R). Here is a plot where you should see the problem with the different distance of the labels from the axis ticks: plot(50,50,xlab="", ylab="", xlim=c(30,100), ylim=c(30,100), cex.axis=0.8) Thanks, Henrik Singmann -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Position-of-Axis-Labels-Base-Graphics-tp2250129p2250129.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
