Hello,
I try to make barplots with rather wide labels. A simplified example of
this:
x<- c(12, 33, 56, 67, 15, 66)
names(x)<- c('Richard with a long surname','Minnie with a long
name,'Albert','Helen','Joe','Kingston')
barplot(x, las = 2)
Now the label 'Richard with a long surname' is too long to fit beneath the
bars. A simple solution would be enlarge the space for the labels by
positioning the bar region higher. But I cannot find how to do this. Please
Help!
Hi Frans, Does this do what you want? library(plotrix) barp(x,names.arg=names(x),staxx=TRUE) Jim
