Hello, I have a simple question that I could not really figure out. I am plotting labels within a graph using the text function. I first plot the first label by specifying the x and y coordinates on the graph. Then to plot the second label next to it, I am using te strwidth function to get the width of the previous label in user coordinate then add the maximum width to the x value. However, this is not working: Here is an example: lab1<-c("Hocine & Ruba 2000", "Yasmine 2004","Ziad was born in 2006") lab2<-c(20,22,45) lab3<-c(54677,10900,200) plot(-10:5,1:6) text(par("usr")[1],2:4,lab1,adj=c(0,0.5)) text(par("usr")[1]+max(strwidth(lab1)),2:4,lab1,adj=c(0,0.5)) However, this is not working OK. I would like to get the max width of lab1 as it appears in the figure then add that amount to plot lab2 and so forth. I would like to leave only one blank column between successive labels. Thanks! Hocine
