Rotated, Right-Justified Labels for Shortened Tick Marks
Jim, This was the solution I was hoping to avoid having to implement... but thank you it does what I was looking for visually (except for the las=1 rotation). Is there no other parameter *within* axis that I could adjust? If not, it seems like axis could be rewritten to have the axis tick label positions move in concert with the shortening tick marks... -D

Hello R-help, I'm trying to make a fairly simple plot axis that goes something like this: plot(-10:10,-10:10, yaxt='n') axis(side=2, las=1, hadj=1, ?tck=-.01, cex.axis=.6) ...but as you can see, the labels are not close enough to the y-axis (where I want them... to save space for publication). Can anybody help me figure out how to move these labels over the the right a bit?
Hi D,
Try this:
plot(-10:10,-10:10, yaxt='n')
axis(side=2,at=seq(-10,10,by=5),labels=rep("",5),tck=-.01)
par(cex=0.6)
mtext(seq(-10,10,by=5),at=seq(-10,10,by=5),side=2,line=0.3,cex=0.6)
par(cex=1)
