axis-labels

I have eliminated labels on the y axis because only the relative amount is really important. w <- c(34170,24911,20323,14290,9605,7803,7113,6031,5140,4469) plot(1:length(w), w, type="b", xlab="Number of clusters", ylab="Within-cluster variance", main="K=5 eliminates most of the within-cluster variance", cex.main=1.5, cex.lab=1.2, font.main=20, yaxt='n',lab=c(length(w),5,7), # no ticks on y axis, all ticks on x family="Calibri Light") However, suppressing those tick labels leaves a lot of white space between the y axis label ("Within-cluster variance") and the y axis. Is there a way to nudge it

For several reasons, I am trying to duplicate the grotesque plot shown below. It violates many precepts of good data visualization so for training purposes my goal is to use ggplot2 and deconstruct it -- remove or revise poorly-chosen features one at a time. Using the data reproduced at the bottom and the code below the plot, I am getting close but have been unable to figure out how to include one notable feature. Question: Is there a way to reproduce the black shaded rectangle around the three tick labels? (If so, it is straightforward to create another factor variable to identify those three

Is it possible to move/shift the tick labels into the chart. Currently I see api's to hide/show tick labels is there an API that moves the tick labels inside the chart? If there isn't an API then is there a technique that I can use/apply to get this done? Current code public class Graph extends Application{ private NumberAxis xAxis; private NumberAxis yAxis; public static void main(final String[] args) { launch(args); } @Override public void start(final Stage primaryStage) throws Exception { xAxis = new NumberAxis(0, 300, 20); xAxis.setAutoRanging(false); xAxis.setAnimated(false); xAxis

I have used the following loop to get subplots: for j=1:19; Aj=B(j,:); subplot(5,4,j); plot(Aj,h) end For all these subplots, I need to have only one x-label and one y-label. How to do this? Also how to insert legend to all the subplots? You can use suplabel from the FileExchange to have combined x and y label for all subplots. Example: subplot(1,2,1); plot(randperm(40)); hold on; plot(randperm(40)); %Plotting some random data legend('show') %To show the legend subplot(1,2,2); plot(randperm(40)); hold on; plot(randperm(40)); %Plotting some random data legend('show') %To show the legend %Using

I need to remove the gap preceding 1950 on the x axis. I have attempted to use scale_x_continuous but this results in: Error: Discrete value supplied to continuous scale I believe this must have something to do with the date format of the data. Example Data: x y date 1 -631152000 -1.018 1950-01-01 01:32:40 2 -628473600 -1.143 1950-02-01 01:32:40 3 -626054400 -1.290 1950-03-01 01:32:40 4 -623376000 -1.061 1950-04-01 01:32:40 5 -620784000 -1.416 1950-05-01 01:32:40 6 -618105600 -1.372 1950-06-01 01:32:40 7 -615513600 -1.334 1950-07-01 01:32:40 8 -612835200 -1.050 1950-08-01 01:32:40 9 -610156800
