I would like to plot a style like figure below, which is plotted by matlab.
There is full grid on the plot with customized axis range (e.g. $10^0~10^{-4}$) and axis label (e.g. 10^0 10^1 10^-2 10^-3 10^-4 10^-5). There are ten ticks between 10^0 and 10^1 and also other labels. Similar for y axis.
Expected:
I tried:
initial.dir<-getwd()
setwd("/Rworks/bin")
sink("r.o")
pk <- read.table("2017.file)
rownames(pk)<-c("k","pk")
d.f <- data.frame(t(pk))
png(file="m.png")
plot(
d.f$k,
d.f$pk,
type = "n",
log = "xy",
xlim = c( 10^0, 10^2),
ylim = c( 0.00001, 1),
)
lines( d.f$k, d.f$pk, col = "green4", lty = "dotted")
points( d.f$k, d.f$pk, bg = "limegreen", pch = 21 )
box()
dev.off
sink()
setwd(initial.dir)
I got:
The axis and axis label and the ticks and grid is not what I want. Can anyone can give an advices? Thanks.
Worst case scenario, you can just draw the axes and background lines yourself.
plot(
x=c(1,2), y=c(0.6,0.2),
pch=21, bg="red",
log = "xy",
xlim = c( 10^0, 10^2),
ylim = c( 0.00001, 1),
xaxt="n", yaxt="n",
xlab="", ylab="",
yaxs="i"
)
lines(x=c(1,2), y=c(0.6,0.2))
axis(1, at=10^(0:2),
labels=expression(10^0, 10^1, 10^2))
axis(2, at=10^(-5:0), las=1,
labels=expression(10^-5, 10^-4, 10^-3, 10^-2, 10^-1, 10^0))
abline(h=outer((1:10),(10^(-5:-1))), col="#00000033", lty=2)
abline(v=outer((1:10),(10^(0:1))), col="#00000033", lty=2)
Here's an example - it's not exactly what you want (e.g. you could play around with theme options such as panel.grid.minor to get dotted grid lines), but it's most of the way there.
Exponential-format axis tick labels, from here:
fancy_scientific <- function(l) {
# turn in to character string in scientific notation
l <- format(l, scientific = TRUE)
# quote the part before the exponent to keep all the digits
l <- gsub("^(.*)e", "'\\1'e", l)
# turn the 'e+' into plotmath format
l <- gsub("e", "%*%10^", l)
# return this as an expression
parse(text=l)
}
Manual ticks from #G5W's answer: might be possible to write a function to do this automatically, or one might exist somewhere.
yticks = outer((1:10),(10^(-5:-1)))
xticks = outer((1:10),(10^(0:1)))
Draw the plot (with #G5W's sample mini-data)
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data.frame(x=1:2,y=c(0.6,0.2)),
aes(x,y))+
geom_point(colour="red")+
scale_x_log10(limits=c(1,100),labels=fancy_scientific,
minor_breaks=xticks)+
scale_y_log10(limits=c(1e-5,1),labels=fancy_scientific,
minor_breaks=yticks)+

I have created a plot in R and my own custom x and y axes. I would like the x axis to be displayed in a reverse order (1-0 by -.02). I have read numerous posts and threads that suggest using xlim and reverse range but I just can't seem to make it work. Once plotted I am also converting the axes labels to percentages by multiplying by 100 (as you will see in the code). Here is what I have so far;
plot(roc.val, xlab = "Specificity (%)", ylab = "Sensitivity (%)", axes = FALSE)
axis(2, at = seq(0,1,by=.2), labels = paste(100*seq(0,1, by=.2)), tick = TRUE)
axis(1, at = seq(0,1,by=.2), labels = paste(100*seq(0,1, by=.2)), tick = TRUE)
How can I reverse the x axis scale so that the values begin at 100 and end at 0 with increments of 20?
I think this creates a plot in which the y-axis is in reverse order:
x <- seq(-4, 4, length = 10)
y <- exp(x) / (1 + exp(x))
plot(x,y, ylim = rev(range(y)))
This removes the axis values:
x <- seq(-4, 4, length = 10)
y <- exp(x) / (1 + exp(x))
plot(x,y, ylim = rev(range(y)), labels = FALSE)
I guess you can assign the axis values you want then with a variation of your lines:
axis(2, at = seq(0,1,by=.2), labels = paste(100*seq(0,1, by=.2)), tick = TRUE)
axis(1, at = seq(0,1,by=.2), labels = paste(100*seq(0,1, by=.2)), tick = TRUE)
df <- data.frame(x=seq(0,1, length.out=50), y=seq(0, 1, length.out=50))
plot(df)
df$x1 <- (max(df$x) - df$x)/ (max(df$x) - min(df$x))
plot(df$x1, df$y, axes=F, xlab = "Specificity (%)", ylab = "Sensitivity (%)")
axis(2, at = seq(0,1,by=.2), labels = paste(100*seq(0,1, by=.2)), tick = TRUE)
axis(1, at = seq(0,1,by=.2), labels = paste(100*seq(1,0, by=-.2)), tick = TRUE)
Adapting Mark Miller's answer to solve a similar problem (I found this topic by looking for the solution) and I found a variation of his solution in https://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/05/03/0342.html.
Basically if you want to reverse the X-axis values in the plot, instead of using ylim=rev(range(y)), you can use xlim=rev(c(-4,4)).
x <- seq(-4, 4, length = 10)
y <- exp(x) / (1 + exp(x))
par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(x, y, ylim=range(y), xlim=c(-4, 4))
plot(x, y, ylim=range(y), xlim=rev(c(-4, 4)))
plot1
And if you want to keep the x-axis values in the true order, you can use this:
par(mfrow=c(1,1))
plot(x, y, ylim=range(y), xlim=c(-4, 4), axes=FALSE)
par(new=TRUE)
plot(-100, -100, ylim=range(y), xlim=c(-4, 4), axes=FALSE, xlab="", ylab="", main="")
axis(1, at = seq(-4,4,by=1), labels = seq(-4,4,by=1), tick = TRUE)
axis(2, at = seq(0,1,by=.2), labels = paste(100*seq(0,1, by=.2)), tick = TRUE)
plot2
I'm posting this solution because I needed something very straightforward to solve my problem. And the solution for it needed the plot with the X-axis value in the correct order (and not reversed).
First, check out the ggplot2 library for making beautiful and extendable graphics. It is part of the Tidyverse approach to R and a gamechanger if you have not been exposed to it.
For example, to solve your issue using ggplot, you simply add the term scale_x_reverse() to your graphic.
See: http://ggplot.yhathq.com/docs/scale_x_reverse.html
I have an R plot where I use the values as symbols. The points also have error bars:
The problem is, obviously, that the error bars (I use arrows for that) cross through the numbers and that just looks ugly and makes them hard to read.
This is my code, any ideas?
x = c(45.58333, 89.83333, 114.03333,138.65000,161.50000,185.15000,191.50000)
y_mean = c(3.350000,6.450000,7.200000,7.033333,8.400000,7.083333,6.750000)
y_sd = c(0.1802776,0.1732051,0.2500000,0.2020726,0.3500000,0.2020726,0.1000000)
values = data.frame(x, y_mean, y_sd)
plot(values$x, values$y_mean, type="n")
arrows(values$x, values$y_mean - values$y_sd,
values$x, values$y_mean + values$y_sd,
length=0.05, angle=90,
code=3, col="red")
lines(values$x, values$y_mean, type="b",
pch=" ",
col="red", bg="white")
text(values$x, values$y_mean, label=round(values$y_mean), col="red")
EDIT:
I executed the exact code shown above as asked:
I would play with the horizontal justification and add small points to keep track of the original position
points(values$x, values$y_mean, pch=19, col="red", cex=0.5)
text(values$x, values$y_mean, label=round(values$y_mean), col="red", adj = -0.2)
One idea is to white out the plot content where the text will be drawn, before drawing the text. This can be done with rect(). Although you risk whiting out the error bars entirely with this approach.
We can use strwidth() and strheight() to get the appropriate sizes for the whiteout rectangles.
x <- c(45.58333, 89.83333, 114.03333,138.65000,161.50000,185.15000,191.50000);
y_mean <- c(3.350000,6.450000,7.200000,7.033333,8.400000,7.083333,6.750000);
y_sd <- c(0.1802776,0.1732051,0.2500000,0.2020726,0.3500000,0.2020726,0.1000000);
xlim <- range(x);
ylim <- c(min(y_mean-y_sd),max(y_mean+y_sd));
plot(NA,xlim=xlim,ylim=ylim,xlab='x',ylab='y');
arrows(x,y_mean-y_sd,x,y_mean+y_sd,length=0.05,angle=90,code=3,col='red');
lines(x,y_mean,type='b',pch=' ',col='red',bg='white');
ls <- as.character(round(y_mean));
ex <- 0.4; ## whiteout expansion factor
lsw <- strwidth(ls); w <- lsw/2*(1+ex);
lsh <- strheight(ls); h <- lsh/2*(1+ex);
rect(x-w,y_mean-h,x+w,y_mean+h,col='white',border=NA);
text(x,y_mean,ls,col='red');
Just apply these changes:
plot(values$x, values$y_mean, type="n",
xlim = c(min(values$x), max(values$x) + 20),
ylim = c(min(values$y_mean)-1, max(values$y_mean)+1))
text(values$x, values$y_mean, label=round(values$y_mean), col="blue", pos = 3)
This is a follow-up question to my other question on barplots:
Tornado plot in R
I realized the question about getting greek letters on the y-axis needed to be asked as an own question.
The question is:
I have the following barplot and need to change the y-axis to respective greek letters (and a V with a bar over).
I use the following code:
# Tornado plot
data <- matrix(c(-0.02,0.02,-0.01,0.01,-0.03,0.02,-0.01,0.04), ncol = 4)
rownames(data) <- c('+10%','-10%')
colnames(data) <- c('V_bar', 'alpha', 'rho','xi')
x <- seq(-0.04,0.04, length=10)
barplot(data[1,], horiz = T, las=1, xlim = c(-0.04,0.04), xaxt='n', ylab='',
beside=T, col=c('springgreen'))
barplot(data[2,], horiz = T, las=1, xlim = c(-0.04,0.04), xaxt='n',
yaxt='n', #To prevent double printing of y-labels.
beside=T, col=c('indianred2'), add = TRUE)
axis(1, at=pretty(x), lab=paste0(pretty(x) * 100," %"), las=TRUE)
To get the greek letters I have tried the following:
barplot(data[2,], horiz = T, las=1, xlim = c(-0.04,0.04), xaxt='n',
yaxt= c(expression(bar(V)), expression(alpha),expression(rho), expression(xi)),
beside=T, col=c('indianred2'), add = TRUE))
and
axis(2, at=c(1:4), lab = expression(xi ~ rho ~ alpha ~ bar(V)), las=T)
or
axis(2, at=pretty(x), lab = paste0(expression(xi ~ rho ~ alpha ~ bar(V)), las=T))
But no success. Anyone now the trick?
Note. I have seen this question: Adding greek character to axis title
But it focuses on the labels, not the y-axis "values".
Also, I have tried something like Putting greek letters in column names
with no success.
There's no need to call axis for labeling of the bars if you provide the argument names.arg to barplot:
barplot(data[1,], horiz = T, las=1, xlim = c(-0.04,0.04), xaxt='n', ylab='',
beside=T, col=c('springgreen'),
names.arg=c(expression(xi),expression(rho), expression(alpha), expression(bar(V))))
You just need to pass lab in axis as a vector of expressions.
axis(2, at=c(1:4), lab = c(expression(xi),
expression(rho), expression(alpha), expression(bar(V))), las=T)
Then you can play with the settings of the axis as needed.
I have this code:
# Plotting everything
plot( p1, col= "lightgreen", xlim=c(-2.5,4.5), ylim=c(0, 700), main="Daily Total Precipitation for AR and Oct-May", xlab="ln(x)" , ylab="Frequency", xaxt = "n") # first histogram
plot( p2, col="red", xlim=c(-2.5,4.5), ylim=c(0, 700), xaxt = "n" , add=T)
# Adding in text labels on top of the bars
text(x, y, paste(round(percents,2),"%"), cex=0.50, pos=3, offset=0.3, col="black")
axis(side=1, at=breaks) # new x-axis
# parameter that needs to be set to add a new graph on top of the other ones
par(new=T)
plot(x, percents, xlim=c(-2.5,4.5), type="l", col="yellow", lwd=3.0, axes=F, ylab=NA, xlab=NA)
axis(side=4, at=seq(0,100,by=10), col="yellow", col.axis="yellow") # additional y-axis
mtext("Percent", side=4, col="yellow")
# legend settings
legend("topleft", c("AR", "Oct-May"), lwd=10, col=c("red", "lightgreen"))
Which produces this graph:
And I can't seem to figure out how to get the secondary y-axis label to show up in the correct position. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Edit: Using RStudio.
One option is to specify the line argument to mtext(). In the example below I add a couple more lines to the right (side = 4) margin of the plot using par(), and then I draw three labels using mtext() at the default (line = 0), line 3 (line = 3), and line -3 (line = -3):
op <- par(mar = c(5,4,4,4) + 0.1)
plot(1:10)
mtext("line0", side = 4)
mtext("line3", side = 4, line = 3)
mtext("line-3", side = 4, line = -3)
par(op)
Note that line numbers increase away from the plot region and that negative line values move into the plot region, or to the left of the right boundary of the plot region.
It takes a little playing with the number of margin lines (as set in par(mar = x)) and which line you want to draw on using mtext(), but a little trial and error should get you what you want.
Note also that you don't need to specify integer values for the line argument. You can specify fractions of lines too: line = 2.5.
I like to produce my own grid lines when plotting so I can control tick marks, etc. and I am struggling with this with the 'hist' plotting routine.
hist(WindSpeed, breaks=c(0:31), freq=TRUE, col="blue", xaxt="n", yaxt="n", xlab="Wind Speed (m/s)",main="Foo", cex.main=1.5, cex.axis=1, cex.lab=1, tck=1, font.lab=2)
axis(1, tck=1, ,col.ticks="light gray")
axis(1, tck=-0.015, col.ticks="black")
axis(2, tck=1, col.ticks="light gray", lwd.ticks="1")
axis(2, tck=-0.015)
minor.tick(nx=5, ny=2, tick.ratio=0.5)
box()
Plot:
I have then just been able to use the 'lines' or 'points' command to replot the data over top for other types of plots, but with the histogram its not so easy.
Any help would be great.

I added my code below and image based upon John's response...
hist(WindSpeed, breaks=30, freq=TRUE, col="blue", xaxt="n", yaxt="n", xlab="Wind Speed (m/s)",main="Foo", cex.main=1.5, cex.axis=1, cex.lab=1, font.lab=2)

Actually, R has a way to do this! It's the panel.first argument to plot.default, which hist calls to do most of the work. It takes an expression which is evaluated "after the plot axes are set up but before any plotting takes place. This can be useful for drawing background grids or scatterplot smooths," to quote from ?plot.default.
hist(WindSpeed, breaks=c(0:31), freq=TRUE, col="blue", xaxt="n", yaxt="n",
xlab="Wind Speed (m/s)", main="Foo",
cex.main=1.5, cex.axis=1, cex.lab=1, tck=1, font.lab=2,
panel.first={
axis(1, tck=1, col.ticks="light gray")
axis(1, tck=-0.015, col.ticks="black")
axis(2, tck=1, col.ticks="light gray", lwd.ticks="1")
axis(2, tck=-0.015)
minor.tick(nx=5, ny=2, tick.ratio=0.5)
box()
})
See How do I draw gridlines using abline() that are behind the data? for another question that uses this method.
This is relatively easy.
Generate the histogram but don't plot it.
h <- hist(y, plot = FALSE)
Now generate your base plot... I've added some features to make it look more like a standard historgram
plot(h$mids, h$counts, ylim = c(0, max(h$counts)), xlim = range(h$mids)*1.1,
type = 'n', bty = 'n', xlab = 'y', ylab = 'Counts', main = 'Histogram of y')
add your grid
grid()
add your histogram
hist(y, add = TRUE)
Or, as I discovered through this process... you can do it even easier
hist(y)
grid()
hist(y, add = TRUE, col = 'white')
This last method is just redrawing the histogram over the grid.
In R, order matters when you plot. As you've discovered, adding things to a plot adds on top of what you've plotted before. So we need a way to plot the grid first and then the histogram. Try something like this:
plot(1:10,1:10,type = "n")
grid(10,10)
hist(rnorm(100,5,1),add = TRUE)
I haven't recreated your example, since it isn't reproducible, but this general idea should work. But the key idea is to create an empty plot with the correct dimensions using the type = "n" option to plot, then add the grid, then add the histogram using the add = TRUE argument.
Note that the add argument is actually for plot.histogram, hist passes it along via ....
The base graphics solution suggested by #joran is fine. Alternatives:
d <- data.frame(x=rnorm(1000))
library(lattice)
histogram(~x,data=d,panel=function(...) {
panel.grid(...)
panel.histogram(...) }
)
Or:
library(ggplot2)
qplot(x,data=d,geom="histogram",binwidth=0.1)+theme_bw()+
labs(x="Wind speed", y="Frequency")
(But of course you will have to learn all the details of adjusting labels, titles, etc. ... I'm not actually sure how to do titles in ggplot ...)
Another methods for grid lines in background:
A)
hist( y, panel.first=grid() ) # see: help( plot.default )
box()
B)
plot.new() # new empty plot
nv <- length( pretty(x) ) - 1 # number of vertical grid lines (or set by hand)
nh <- length( pretty(y) ) - 1 # number of horizontal grid lines (or set by hand)
grid( nx = nv, ny = nh ) # preplot grid lines
par( new = TRUE ) # add next plot
plot( x, y ) # plot or hist, etc
box() # if plot hist
