Hello dear R help group,
I learned recently that one can change the rotation of labels in the axis,
when using a lattice plot, for example:
library(lattice)
barchart(yield ~ variety , data = barley,
groups = year,
ylab = "Barley Yield (bushels/acre)",
scales = list(rot = 45))
My question is: Is there an application of "rot" in something like barplot ?
The only solution I know of is using "las = X" (X is 1,2, or 3)
Is there another solution/hack for this ?
No, by design there is just the "las" way ... Uwe Ligges
Actually, there is a method and it is in the R FAQs: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#How-can-I-create-rotated-axis-labels_003f
Yes you are right, Marc, thank you! I would not call this as "by design" and it sometimes need quite a lot fiddling if font sizes change. Best, Uwe
