I have created a bubble plot in R using the following formula: symbols(Data$Day.Number,Data$Team,circles=Data$Total.amount, inches=0.5, fg="white",bg="red",xlab="Day Number",ylab="Team") The data set is called Data, and I have the columns Day.Number, Team and Total.amount. The data is plotting fine, but where my y axis should have the names of each team, it instead labels 1,2,3,4,,,, How do I edit this to label the axis with the names of the teams instead?

Hello, See the ?axis function, argument 'labels'. Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 29-11-2012 12:20, seanlilley escreveu:

Hi, The axis function plots an axis ontop of my current axis. So although I am able to write my labels in, they are written ontop of the numbers in the current axis rather than replacing them. Any other alternatives?

Hello, Use argument yaxt = "n" of function symbols. yaxt means "y axis type" and "n" for "none" (or "no"). Then plot the axis with axis(2, ...) Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 29-11-2012 16:17, seanlilley escreveu:
