Hello, I have an expression for the y axis, which I wish to rotate by 90 degrees (so that this label has the same orientation as for the x axis). Thought the graphical parameter crt (or srt) would do the trick, but haven't had any joy so far. Any ideas? (Using Version 1.2.2, linux, redhat 7.0)
From ?par:
las: numeric in {0,1,2,3}; the style of axis labels.
0: always parallel to the axis [default],
1: always horizontal,
2: always perpendicular to the axis,
3: always vertical.
Note that other string/character rotation (via `par(srt =
..)') does not affect the axis labels.
Cheers for the quick reply. However, I found when I used las that although it changed the orientation of the axis labels (ie the numbers on the axis tickmarks), it didn't change the orientation of the x- and y axis titles, ie the expressions which I passed to xlab and ylab with the plot command: plot(alpha,sigma,xlab=expression(alpha),ylab=expression(sigma)) Cheers, Rob. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
