Re: [R] line argument in mtext for axis ?
Previously, I wasn't aware that axis() supports las arguments, and as a result, I used axis() for the ticks and mtext() to rotate the labels perpendicular to the axis. Now, I hope to cleanup my codes by combining the axis() and mtext() codes into a single axis(), the only issue is that much of my mtext() codes set the line argument to some values. The line argument in axis() doesn't work the same way according to the help page, is there an equivalent argument in axis() that functions identically to the line argument in mtext() ? 2009/4/6 Uwe Ligges lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de: Daren Tan wrote: Is there a similar argument for axis that controls the position of labels via line argument in mtext ?

Thanks, I should learn to read deeper into the help page next time. :) On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 4:56 PM, Annette Heisswolf annette.heissw...@utu.fi wrote: Hei, As far as I understand your question, you might want to check the settings of par(mgp), which has three elements. According to ?par mgp sets The margin line (in mex units) for the axis title, axis labels and axis line. Note that mgp[1] affects title whereas mgp[2:3] affect axis. The default is c(3, 1, 0). According to ?axis the value of par(mgp)[2] is used to place the tick labels. Thus, changing the default to the value of your choice might do what you want.
