I am trying to get the x axis labels to be rotated 45 degrees on a barplot with no luck. This is the code I have below:
barplot(((data1[,1] - average)/average) * 100,
srt = 45,
adj = 1,
xpd = TRUE,
names.arg = data1[,2],
col = c("#3CA0D0"),
main = "Best Lift Time to Vertical Drop Ratios of North American Resorts",
ylab = "Normalized Difference",
yaxt = 'n',
cex.names = 0.65,
cex.lab = 0.65)
use optional parameter las=2 .
barplot(mytable,main="Car makes",ylab="Freqency",xlab="make",las=2)
EDITED ANSWER PER DAVID'S RESPONSE:
Here's a kind of hackish way. I'm guessing there's an easier way. But you could suppress the bar labels and the plot text of the labels by saving the bar positions from barplot and do a little tweaking up and down. Here's an example with the mtcars data set:
x <- barplot(table(mtcars$cyl), xaxt="n")
labs <- paste(names(table(mtcars$cyl)), "cylinders")
text(cex=1, x=x-.25, y=-1.25, labs, xpd=TRUE, srt=45)
Rotate the x axis labels with angle equal or smaller than 90 degrees using base graphics. Code adapted from the R FAQ:
par(mar = c(7, 4, 2, 2) + 0.2) #add room for the rotated labels
#use mtcars dataset to produce a barplot with qsec colum information
mtcars = mtcars[with(mtcars, order(-qsec)), ] #order mtcars data set by column "qsec"
end_point = 0.5 + nrow(mtcars) + nrow(mtcars) - 1 #this is the line which does the trick (together with barplot "space = 1" parameter)
barplot(mtcars$qsec, col = "grey50",
main = "",
ylab = "mtcars - qsec", ylim = c(0,5 + max(mtcars$qsec)),
xlab = "",
xaxt = "n", # Do not plot the default labels
space = 1)
#rotate 60 degrees (srt = 60)
text(seq(1.5, end_point, by = 2), par("usr")[3]-0.25,
srt = 60, adj = 1, xpd = TRUE,
labels = paste(rownames(mtcars)), cex = 0.65)
You can simply pass your data frame into the following function:
rotate_x <- function(data, column_to_plot, labels_vec, rot_angle) {
plt <- barplot(data[[column_to_plot]], col='steelblue', xaxt="n")
text(plt, par("usr")[3], labels = labels_vec, srt = rot_angle, adj = c(1.1,1.1), xpd = TRUE, cex=0.6)
}
Usage:
rotate_x(mtcars, 'mpg', row.names(mtcars), 45)
You can change the rotation angle of the labels as needed.
You may use
par(las=2) # make label text perpendicular to axis
It is written here: http://www.statmethods.net/graphs/bar.html
You can use ggplot2 to rotate the x-axis label adding an additional layer
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))
In the documentation of Bar Plots we can read about the additional parameters (...) which can be passed to the function call:
... arguments to be passed to/from other methods. For the default method these can
include further arguments (such as axes, asp and main) and graphical
parameters (see par) which are passed to plot.window(), title() and axis.
In the documentation of graphical parameters (documentation of par) we can see:
las
numeric in {0,1,2,3}; the style of axis labels.
0:
always parallel to the axis [default],
1:
always horizontal,
2:
always perpendicular to the axis,
3:
always vertical.
Also supported by mtext. Note that string/character rotation via argument srt to par does not affect the axis labels.
That is why passing las=2 makes the labels perpendicular, although not at 45°.
Andre Silva's answer works great for me, with one caveat in the "barplot" line:
barplot(mtcars$qsec, col="grey50",
main="",
ylab="mtcars - qsec", ylim=c(0,5+max(mtcars$qsec)),
xlab = "",
xaxt = "n",
space=1)
Notice the "xaxt" argument. Without it, the labels are drawn twice, the first time without the 60 degree rotation.

I'd like to add text to the right outer margin of multiple plots that is parallel to the axis but oriented towards the center of the plot (the orientation of the words "red" and "blue" in the below plot:
par(mfcol=2:1)
curve(sin,-2*pi,2*pi,col=2)
limits <- par("usr")
text(limits[2]+.25, mean(limits[3:4]),
"red", srt=270, xpd=T)
curve(sin,-2*pi,2*pi,col=4)
text(limits[2]+.25, mean(limits[3:4]),
"blue", srt=270, xpd=T)
mtext("Color of line",side=4,outer=T)
If the mtext function used the srt parameter rather than las (which was apparently the case for S plus), this would be trivial and the above workaround using usr would be unnecessary. But I'd like to be able to orient text in the outer margin ("Color of line" above) this same way, which I appear to be unable to do even manually with text (using xpd=T still constrains the text to the most recent figure region rather than the device region).
Is there a way to do this that doesn't require using layout as in the answer of #mrflick here? This seems like it should be trivial but I don't see how it can be done.
To find the y coordinates of the center of the device, you can use grconvertY to convert from "normalized device coordinates" ("ndc"; ranges from 0 to 1) to user coordinates.
The x value is here simply adjusted with an appropriate factor (e.g. limits[2] * 1.2).
windows()
par(mfrow = c(2, 1), oma = c(0, 0, 0, 2))
curve(sin, -2*pi, 2*pi, col = 2)
limits <- par("usr")
text(limits[2] + 0.25, mean(limits[3:4]),
"red", srt = 270, xpd = TRUE)
curve(sin, -2*pi, 2*pi, col = 4)
text(limits[2] + 0.25, mean(limits[3:4]),
"blue", srt = 270, xpd = TRUE)
text(x = limits[2] * 1.2, y = grconvertY(0.5, from = "ndc"),
labels = "color of line", xpd = NA, srt = 270)
Please see previous revisions if you rather want to calculate y position from user coordinates ("usr") and plot margins ("mai").
I am using the packages rgl and plot3D to plot 3 dimensional data in a scatter plot. my data looks as follows:
install.packages("rgl")
library(rgl)
x <- Kg$GBMVP_SD
y <- Kg$GBMVP_Ret
z <- Kg$Asset_No
K<- as.matrix(Kg$GRN_No)
RF<- as.matrix(Kg$Risk_Free)
scatter3D(x , y , z , colvar = K,
pch = 16, cex = 1.5, xlab = "GMVP Standard Deviation", ylab = "GMVP Return",
zlab = "Total No of Assets in Portfolio", clab = c("Green Asset No"),
main = "Global Minimum Variance Portfolio(GMVP) Return and Standard Deviation vs No of Green Assets ", ticktype = "detailed",
colkey = list(length = 0.5, width = 0.5, cex.clab = 0.75))
which gives me:
I am trying to add a vertical plane to this where for x and z as specified above, the y is equal to RF, which is all one value. I have tried the rgl package with no luck, as all fit regression planes and when I use different z values in the plane as that specified for the scatter, it doesn't plot. I am trying to avoid using the scatterplot3d package due to the better graphics of the other packages, but will do if there is on other option. Any help is appreciated.
