Fine control of plot
5 messages · Sarah Goslee, Philippe Massicotte
Hi, You posted in HTML by mistake, so your code was mangled:
I'm trying to create a graph where I could plot some lines on the right side. Here an example: layout(matrix(c(1,2), 1, 2, byrow = TRUE), widths=c(6,2), heights=c(1,1)) x = 1:100y = rnorm(x)+xplot(x,y) reg = lm(y~x)abline(reg, col = "red") plot(1, type="n", axes=F, xlab="", ylab="", xlim = c(-1,1), ylim = c(min(y), max(x)))segments(-0.25,min(reg$fitted.values),0.25,min(reg$fitted.values))segments(-0.25,max(reg$fitted.values),0.25,max(reg$fitted.values))segments(0,min(reg$fitted.values),0,max(reg$fitted.values))
I figured out where the linebreaks go, but I can't run this: y = rnorm(x)+xplot(x,y) What's xplot() doing here?
However, I cant figure out how to make it a bit nicer by removing extra space to the right.
Can you explain further what you're trying to do? Plot spacing is controlled with par() for base graphics, but I really don't understand what you're after. -- Sarah Goslee http://www.functionaldiversity.org
Hi and thank you for your answer.? Sorry for the html post, here's the code: (you missed a break line between +x and plot(...)? layout(matrix(c(1,2), 1, 2, byrow = TRUE), widths=c(6,2), heights=c(1,1))? x = 1:100? y = rnorm(x)+x? plot(x,y)? reg = lm(y~x)? abline(reg, col = "red")? plot(1, type="n", axes=F, xlab="", ylab="", xlim = c(-1,1), ylim = c(min(y), max(x)))? segments(-0.25,min(reg$fitted.values),0.25,min(reg$fitted.values))? segments(-0.25,max(reg$fitted.values),0.25,max(reg$fitted.values))? segments(0,min(reg$fitted.values),0,max(reg$fitted.values))? I hope my question is more obvious after you urn this example.? Regards,? Phil

Okay, so what you really want to do is be able to set a wide right margin and draw some segments there? Using layout() is not the best way to go about this: as you've discovered, you can't control the area assigned. You can "cheat" with layout(), as in: layout(matrix(c(1,1,1,2), nrow=1)) but the better way is to see xpd within ?par as described here: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-July/206311.html along with par()$mai to set the margins appropriately.

xpd=TRUE might works well. I'll give it a try. Thank you for your assistance, Phil ----------------------------------------
