Re: [R] pass longer arguments to adj of text()

2008-10-20 Thread Thomas Steiner
...and the offset argument can't handle arrays either:

text(c(0,0),c(0,0),c("a","b"),pos=c(1,2),offset=c(1,0.5),col="darkgreen")

The second argument does not have any effect.
Can I pass arrays to text and use diffent locations?

PS: I use R version 2.5.0 (2007-04-23) under Win2000.

Re: [R] pass longer arguments to adj of text()

2008-10-20 Thread Prof Brian Ripley
Why do you expect this to be vectorized when the help page clearly says 
otherwise?  See


 adj: one or two values in [0,1] which specify the x (and
  optionally y) adjustment of the labels.  On most devices
  values outside that interval will also work.

What is wrong with two or more text() calls?

NB: library(fortunes); fortune("WTFM") applies.

Hi,

text()'s pos does handle more dimensional labels, while adj does not -
or how can I pass an array to text() and use the adj argument (skyblue
text)?

plot(-1:1,-1:1)
text(c(0,0),c(0,0),c("a","b"),pos=c(1,2),col="red")
text(c(0,0),c(0,0),c("a","b"),adj=cbind(c(1,2),c(1,1)),col="skyblue")

Brian, thank you for your reply.

Sure, it's in line with the help, no problem there. I just asked if
this feature is somehow possible.
I expected it, because "pos" does take arrays and it "overrides any
adj value given" (see help). So if "pos" does, why not "adj"?

it's quicker and more beautiful.

This one I didn't get. They help to do it without a loop?

No.

This is all documented in TFM. Those who WTFM don't want to have to WTFM 
again

on the mailing list. RTFM.

Perhaps

mapply( text, px, py, angle2date(jp), adj=adj, MoreArgs=list(cex=0.85))

is more to your liking?

HTH,
