Hi,
I have a 3 panel xyplot with different variables in the y axis. I'm trying
to insert a newline after "Width (cm)," in the ylab argument as in the
example below. My goal is to have the y axis label broken into two lines,
split after the string just mentioned.
plotfun <- function() {
fakedf <- data.frame(A = sample(1:100, 50),
B = rnorm(50),
C = rnorm(50),
D = rnorm(50))
myplot <- xyplot(B + C + D ~ A, data = fakedf,
outer = TRUE, allow.multiple = TRUE, layout = c(1,3),
ylab = list(expression(paste(
"VarB (cm" ^2, "), VarC (cm),\n or VarD (cm)"))),
xlab = list("VarA (d)"))
postscript("testfig.eps")
print(myplot)
dev.off()
}
As you can see, this is not producing the desired result, which is
probably associated with 3 warnings:
Warning messages:
1: font metrics unknown for character 10
2: font metrics unknown for character 10
3: font metrics unknown for character 10
Any help defining the ylab argument in this case is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
