Subject: 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.
