If you are using regular R graphs (i.e. not lattice or other library graphics) try setting the margins with the mar argument to par()
e.g. par(mar = c(5, 10, 5, 1)) The four numbers specify the amount of margin room on the bottom, left, top, right respectively. Set the left margin value large enough to give your labels enough room.

Another question, I am barplotting the continents horizontally, ie the more participants the lrger the bars are. I have managed the make the labels (names of the nontinents) to be horizontally but the longer ones (North and South America) flow off the left side (right justified). So, how do I make the plot smaller, and move it to the right so that the complete names appear? I can make the plot smaller in inches but that doesn't scale if I enlarge the window. Pointers to read will be fine, but so far I haven't found it :-)-O el On 24 Oct 2008, at 18:24 , Gabor Grothendieck wrote: > On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 11:37 AM, Dr Eberhard W Lisse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> >> This looks very cool. >> >> But I must still make a plan with regards to country = "NA" (Namibia) >> or continent = "NA" (North America) >> >> But there are the vignettes. >> >> el >> > > NA and "NA" are not the same: > >> DF <- data.frame(x = c("a", "NA", NA)) >> DF > x > 1 a > 2 NA > 3 <NA> >> >> is.na(NA) > [1] TRUE >> is.na("NA") > [1] FALSE > -- Dr. Eberhard W.
