I think 'usr' can be used to specify the extent of the plotting region. So it is useful if, say, you are creating a multiplot window and want to scale all plots for comparison. I think that (for multiplots) xlim has limited usefulness. On 23-Oct-07, at 10:12 PM, Dave Hewitt wrote: > No p

mtext does not support srt -- use text instead. There is a comment about that in the example although perhaps the wording could be clearer. On 10/20/07, Dave Hewitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The controls for the margin sizes, which set the amount of space allocated > for the labels, are the 'm

The controls for the margin sizes, which set the amount of space allocated for the labels, are the 'mai' numbers in the first 'par' call. The fourth number changed to 0.9 or greater should give you more room like you're looking for. You can use the alternative 'mtext' way of adding the label (i

In the zoo example you can control how far it lies from the axis by adjusting the text() command and you can alter the margins using the values for the mai parameter in the par() command. On 10/20/07, John Theal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I still haven't resolved this problem. However, when I r

I still haven't resolved this problem. However, when I run the plot.zoo example the label appears, it also appears if I enter the commands manually. The problem that persists is that the label has to lie so close to the secondary y axis, that (in my case) it becomes almost indistinguishable f

That's strange. When I run example(plot.zoo) its also cut off but if I run the very same code by copying and pasting it into my session then its not cut off: > packageDescription("zoo")$Version [1] "1.4-0" > R.version.string [1] "R version 2.6.0 Patched (2007-10-08 r43124)" library(zoo) examp

I was curious about the exact same question that John Theal posed - how to get a second y-axis label for a plot of two data series against a common x (in my case, time). I tried two different methods - one in lattice and one in plot. Both times the y-axis on the right side appears but the label

Yes, a scatterplot would be better. But for the sake of interest, is it possible to get the label for the secondary y-axis to appear? I have been playing around with it all day in an attempt to get it to work and have been unsuccessful. I would like to know if it is possible and/or what I

I have the following R code to create a plot with two y axes. I am essentially trying to plot a price series with a volume series on the same graph. (i.e. to compare price with volume). I can label the first y axis successfully, but the problem is in labeling the 2nd y-axis. Essentially, t
