[R] Ajdustment of data symbols

[David L Carlson]

Try this. The par("cxy") gets a vector of character width and height in user coordinates.

points(0.25, par("usr")[3]-par("cxy")[2]/2, pch = 17, col = "red", cex = 2, xpd = TRUE)

Hello,

Is there a way to specify a non-default adjustment for data symbols, similar to what "adj" does for text? 

For example, the following lines of code produce a red triangle on the bottom border of the plot:

plot(0, 0, type = 'n', xlab = "", ylab = "")
points(0.25, par("usr")[3], pch = 17, col = "red", cex = 2, xpd = TRUE)

I would like to draw the triangle completely outside the plotting area, with the upper vertex touching the x-axis...

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Giovanni
