Axis in R

From Augix' Wiki

• Strings plotted perpendicular to the axis
• Hide axis

• Place the labels at a given angle

x = 1:10
y = x*x
par(yaxt="n", xaxt="n")
plot(x, y, type="b")
 
lablist.x = 1:10
lablist.y = c("zero", "twenty", "forty", "sixty", "eighty", "one hundred")
 
axis(1, at=seq(1, 10, by=1), labels = FALSE)
text(x = seq(1, 10, by=1), par("usr")[3] - 0.2, labels = lablist.x, srt = 45, pos = 1, xpd = TRUE)
 
axis(2, at=seq(0, 100, by=20), labels = FALSE)
text(y = seq(0, 100, by=20), par("usr")[1], labels = lablist.y, srt = 45, pos = 2, xpd = TRUE)
