Hi Phillip,
I'm not exactly sure how you are positioning the labels. Is it
possible to give us an example with some data that will produce a
plot to show what you want? It shouldn't be too hard to do.
Jim
Data is something along the lines of:
variable score
Real Bad Stuff 0
Real 23
Bad 14
Stuff 17
Other Crazy Things 0
Other 18
Crazy 43
Things 13
The basic plot looks like this:
barplot(score, horiz=TRUE, axes=FALSE, las=2, space=1,
names.arg=c("Real Bad Stuff", "Real","Bad","Stuff","Other Crazy
Things","Other","Crazy","Things"))
I've been trying make it look the way I want it by doing this:
barplot(score, horiz=TRUE, axes=FALSE, las=1, space=1, names.arg=c("",
"Real","Bad","Stuff","","Other","Crazy","Things"), cex.names=.5)
mtext(c("Real Bad Stuff","Other Crazy Things"),at=c(8,15.6),side=2,
line=1.5,adj=1, las=1, cex=.5, font=2)
The mtext is annoying to line up with the actual plot. If there was a
way to get it to line up with the variables that would solve my
problems, but I've tried at=variable and at=score (putting in "" for
all of the variable names I don't want bolded and left justified) and
neither way gets them to line up.
Thanks,
Phillip
Hi Phillip,
Try this:
pporter<-read.csv("pporter.csv")
pporter
variable score
1 Real Bad Stuff 0
2 Real 23
3 Bad 14
4 Stuff 17
5 Other Crazy Things 0
6 Other 18
7 Crazy 43
8 Things 13
par(mar=c(5,8,4,2))
barpos<-barplot(pporter$score, horiz=TRUE, axes=FALSE, las=1, space=1,
names.arg=c("", "Real","Bad","Stuff","","Other","Crazy","Things"),
cex.names=.5)
mtext(c("Real Bad Stuff","Other Crazy Things"),at=barpos[c(1,5)],
side=2, line=5,adj=0, las=1, cex=.5, font=2)
Jim
