how to word-wrap text in labels in plots?
Hi Hans, strwrap is your friend. "\n" inserts a cr in a line of text. wordwrap<-function(x,len) paste(strwrap(x,width=len),collapse="\n") par(mar=c(11,3,2,1)) tmp<-plot(c,axes=F) axis(2) axis(1,at=tmp,labels=sapply(levels(c),wordwrap,len=15),padj=1) box() For unique abbreviations see ?abbreviate hth.

c <- structure(c(2L, 2L, 1L, 3L, 4L, 2L, 3L, 2L, 3L, 2L, 5L), .Label = c("foo",
+ "bar", "a really really long variable label mostly here to show the need of word-wrapping text in labels",
+ "a not so important value", "baz"), class = "factor")
plot(c)
Is there a way to get the long variable labels to automatically wrap so that all labels can be shown?
Alternatively, is there a way to get the labels truncated, possibly with ".." appended?
