dotplot: character size of labels
Dear R users, using dotplot (R1.2.0, WinNT4.0), I am trying to change the character size of the labels of the points:
# example data(VADeaths) dotplot(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940") # I'd like to have smaller character size of the labels (for age and
population groups)
?dotplot # for argument "cex", this says: "Setting cex to a value smaller than one
can be a useful way of avoiding label overlap."
dotplot(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940", cex = 0.5) # the main title and the plotting characters are smaller now, but not the
labels
# trying to set other graphics parameters seems to have no effect: dotplot(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940", cex.axis = 0.5) dotplot(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940", cex.lab = 0.5)
I'd be grateful for any hint how to do this correctly; regards, Heinrich. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- 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 !)
