I am plotting correlation coefficients (values = 0.0:1.0) for two isotopes measured in each individual from two populations. I would like to have a fixed aspect-ratio for my scatter-plot so that the x- and y-axis are exactly the same size no matter the graphics device. Suggestions?
This is my first plot in R, any comments on refinements to my code is appreciated? Finally, is it worth investing in learning the basic plotting techniques or should I jump right to ggplot2 or lattice?

sets the plot type to be square, which will do the job (I think) in your case because your x and y ranges are the same. Fairly well hidden option documented in ?par.
Using asp=1 as a parameter to plot will get interpreted by the low-level plot.window call and should give you a unitary aspect ratio. There is the potential that a call using ylim and xlim could conflict with an aspect ratio scpecification and the asp should "prevail". That's a very impressive first R graph, by the away. And an excellent question construction. High marks.
The one jarring note was your use of the construction xlim=c(0:1.0). Since xlim expects a two element vector, I would have expected xlim=c(0,1). Fewer keystrokes and less subject to error in the future if you changed to a different set of limits, since the ":" operator would give you unexpected results if you tried that with "0:2.5".

I have plotted five graphs and a legend. The graphs work just fine, however the legens disappears without an error.
My preview in RStudio looks like this
When I zoom in, the area where the legend should be is blank.
I use the following code:
opar <- par (no.readonly = TRUE)
par (mfrow = c(3, 2))
library(deSolve)
# Plot A
LotVmod <- function (Time, State, Pars) {
with(as.list(c(State, Pars)), {
dx = (b*x) - (b*x*x/K) - (y*(x^k/(x^k+C^k)*(l*x/(1+l*h*x))))
dy = (y*e*(x^k/(x^k+C^k)*(l*x/(1+l*h*x)))) - (m*y)
return(list(c(dx, dy)))
})
}
Pars <- c(b = 1.080, e = 2.200, K = 130.000, k = 20.000, l = 2.000,
h = 0.030, C = 2.900, m = 0.050)
State <- c(x = 0.25, y = 2.75)
Time <- seq(1, 9, by = 1)
out <- as.data.frame(ode(func = LotVmod, y = State, parms = Pars, times = Time))
matplot(out[,-1], type = "l", xlim = c(1, 9), ylim = c(0, 45),
xlab = "time",
ylab = "population",
main = "Compartment A")
mtext ( "Coefficient of Variance 4.96", cex = 0.8 )
x <- c(# Validation data)
y <- c(# Validation data)
lines (Time, x, type="l", lty=1, lwd=2.5, col="black")
lines (Time, y, type="l", lty=1, lwd=2.5, col="red")
# Legend
plot.new()
legend("center", c(expression (italic ("F. occidentalis")*" observed"),
expression (italic ("M. pygmaeus")*" observed"),
expression (italic ("F. occidentalis")*" simulated"),
expression (italic ("M. pygmaeus")*" simulated")),
lty = c(1, 1, 1, 2),
col = c(1, 2, 1, 2),
lwd = c(2.5, 2.5, 1, 1),
box.lwd = 0, bty = "n")
# Plot C to F = same as A
par(opar)
My output doesn't give an error. I have used the exact same code before without any trouble, thus I restarted R, removed all objects, cleared all plots and restarted both RStudio and my computer.
Try to add xpd=TRUE in your legend statement. I.e.
legend("center", c(expression (italic ("F. occidentalis")*" observed"),
expression (italic ("M. pygmaeus")*" observed"),
expression (italic ("F. occidentalis")*" simulated"),
expression (italic ("M. pygmaeus")*" simulated")),
lty = c(1, 1, 1, 2),
col = c(1, 2, 1, 2),
lwd = c(2.5, 2.5, 1, 1),
box.lwd = 0, bty = "n", xpd=TRUE)
By default, the legend is cut off by the plotting region. This xpd parameter enables plotting outside the plot region. See e.g. ?par for more on xpd.
This is due to how the plot canvas is set up and how rescaling that device works. The way you do it, you add the legend in the plotting region of the top right plot. The plotting region is however not the complete device, but only the part inside the space formed by the axes. If you rescale, that plotting region will be rescaled as well. The margins around the plotting region don't change size though, so zooming in makes your plotting region so small that it doesn't fit the legend any longer. It is hidden by the margins around the plotting region.
For that reason AEBilgrau is very right you need to add xpd = TRUE. This allows the legend to extend outside of the plotting region, so it doesn't disappear behind the margins when resizing the plotting device.
I am plotting correlation coefficients (values = 0.0:1.0) for two isotopes measured in each individual from two populations. I would like to have a fixed aspect-ratio for my scatter-plot so that the x- and y-axis are exactly the same size no matter the graphics device. Suggestions?
This is my first plot in R, any comments on refinements to my code is appreciated? Finally, is it worth investing in learning the basic plotting techniques or should I jump right to ggplot2 or lattice?
