[R] combining data from different datasets

[Steven McKinney]

If you are using regular R graphs
(i.e. not lattice or other library
graphics) try setting the margins
with the mar argument to par()

e.g.
par(mar = c(5, 10, 5, 1))

The four numbers specify the amount
of margin room on the bottom, left, top, right
respectively.  Set the left margin value large
enough to give your labels enough room.

It's Complicated® :-)-O

I pull the data from a postgresql table, but I am getting
there, thank you the help.

Another question, I am barplotting the continents horizontally,
ie the more participants the lrger the bars are. I have managed
the make the labels (names of the nontinents) to be horizontally
but the longer ones (North and South America) flow off the left
side (right justified).

So, how do I make the plot smaller, and move it to the right so
that the complete names appear? I can make the plot smaller in
inches but that doesn't scale if I enlarge the window.

Pointers to read will be fine, but so far I haven't found it :-)-O
