[R] Put short string labels vertically near tick marks on bottom axis

Wed May 14 10:17:56 CEST 2014

I can't find a post from you with that timestamp.

Anyway I did this in my R:

### Rcode

verData=c(1,365,809,1252,1753,2191,2922,3409,3896,4383,4819,5255,5691,6128,6564,7000)
horData=c(1,300,800,1200,1700,2100,2900,3400,3800,4300,4800,5200,5600,6100,6500,7000)
horTicLocs=c(1,365,809,1252,1753,2191,2922,3409,3896,4383,4819,5255,5691,6128,6564,7000)
horLabels=c('1Yr','1Da','10.8Hr','7Hr','5Hr','4Hr','3Hr','2.57Hr','2.25Hr','2Hr','1.82Hr',
    '1.67Hr','1.54Hr','1.43Hr','1.34Hr','1.25Hr')
plot(horData,verData,xaxt='n',xlim=horAxisLims)
axis(1,tick=TRUE,at=horTicLocs,labels=horLabels)

### Rcode end

and it worked for me (see attached png).

Nothing in your code indicates that plotrix functions should be called. The plot() and axis() functions are from the graphics packages.

No one has a clue about what happens to you because you don't share the useful information you get when you launch that code in R.

If you want some help then do the following.

1) Restart R (in case you have mucked something up in the session you have open).
2) Launch exactly the code above in the newly opened session.
3) If everything works be happy.
4) If you get some errors then copy and paste the whole output in that session and post it to the list.

Then perhaps we may be able to help you. Certainly not before that.

Have a nice day.

Yours sincerely / Med venlig hilsen
