Hi. I always have trouble with fitting certain plots in the viewing window of R console. Usually the problem is that the X axis labels (when they are text such as GO terms or sample names) don't always fit in the plot window. How can I adjust the x axis label size (cex.axis does not seem to work) or position of plot in the window to always fit the entire text of the x axis.

Within the plotting functions for the globaltest package we do it this way... legend is a vector of labels to print on the axis, which length is equal to the x-dimension of the plot labelsize is an argument for the function if (is.null(labelsize)) labelsize<-par("cex.axis") plot.new() labwidth<-max(strwidth(legend,"inches",labelsize)) margins<-par("mai") par(new=TRUE,"mai"=c(max(margins[1],labwidth*1.3),margins[2:4])) plot( datatoplot , xlab = "", xaxt="n",...) axis(1, 1:length(legend), legend, cex.axis = labelsize, las=2) par("mai"=margins) regards, Jan > -----Original Message----- > From: Anthony Bosco [mailto:anthonyb@ichr.uwa.edu.au] > Sent: donderdag 27 mei 2004 10:13 > To: bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: [BioC] Resize plots to display axis labels > > > Hi. > > I always have trouble with fitting certain plots in the viewing > window of R console. > > Usually the problem is that the X axis labels (when they are text > such as GO terms or sample names) don't always fit in the plot window. > > How can I adjust the x axis label size (cex.axis does not seem to > work) or position of plot in the window to always fit the entire text > of the x axis. > > > Regards > > > > Anthony > -- > ______________________________________________ > > Anthony Bosco - PhD Student > > Institute for Child Health Research > (Company Limited by Guarantee ACN 009 278 755) > Subiaco, Western Australia, 6008 > > Ph 61 8 9489 , Fax 61 8 9489 7700 > email anthonyb@ichr.uwa.edu.au > > _______________________________________________ > Bioconductor mailing list > Bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch > https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor >
