Hello, I am trying to increase the thickness of the axis in plot() without reverting to the use of paint programs i see posts on that topic for the xyplot function but want to see if i can do it with plot() because i've already setup my graph script using that i thought i could use axis() function and specify lwd="thickness" or lwd.axis= but that does not work like it does for lwd.ticks If anyone has an idea, sincerely heres the script windows(width=7,height=7) plot(data$Winter,data$NbFirstBroods,ylab="number of breeding pairs",xlab="winter harshness",cex=1.5,cex.lab=1.5,cex.axis=1.5,font.axis=2,axes=FALSE) points(data$Winter,data$NbFirstBroods,cex=1.5,col="black",pch=19) abline(lm(data$NbFirstBroods~data$Winter),col="red",lwd=4)
Only you have the object you call 'data'. Why not provide a simple example (reproducible and minus the obviously unnecessary annotation) that illustrates your problem?
i tried axis(1, lwd.axis = 3,lwd.ticks=3) for example
Presumably this gave a warning: "lwd.axis" is not a graphical parameter. The best thing at that point (if not sooner), is to type ?axis to see what the arguments for that function are. This would immediately show that 'lwd' is the argument you want.
also when adding the y axis axis(2...) x and y axes are disconnected
Use box() with your choice of bty and lwd. If you want different
linewidths for the x and y axes, then retrieve the coordinates of
par("usr") and use either abline() or lines().
