Hi all, I'm a newbie with R and with a very basic question. Can I define the minor unit for ylim? For example, I have a y scale ranging from 1 to 14, jumping automatically every 2 units, but I want it to jump 1 unit at a time...is it possible? I tried something like
boxplot(bla[,1], xlim=c(1,15,1)
and it didn't obbey... :( any suggestion??
Hi Patricia, This seems to be the "intelligent spacing" problem that often appears on the list. If you ask for more than about eight labels on the default sized plotting device without also asking for a smaller font size (cex), R will tidy them up by ignoring some. You can force the axis labels to some extent by using: axis(2,1:15) If you find that your labels begin to overlap, have a look at the staxlab function in the plotrix package. Jim
