This chapter includes text attributes, setting title, graphic size and coordinate axis setting in basic drawing.

The previous article mainly introduced the most basic graphic parameters, symbols, lines and colors, and supplemented the color part first. The last one is the color selected from Set1.

library(RColorBrewer)#call
display.brewer.all()#Show what the rcolorbrower palette is

  1. Text attributes

(1)cex   Specify the text size. The default is 1. The parameter is number. Specifically, specify the font of those parts in the format of cex.XXX.

cex.axis   Axis scale text.

cex.lab   Axis label

cex.main   title

cex.sub   Subtitle

(2) Font specifies the font family, size, and typeface. 1 = regular, 2 = bold, 3 = italic, 4 = bold, 5 = symbol font

In the same way as cex above, there is ps   :  Font point value: 1 point is about 1 / 72 inch, and the final text size is ps*cex. I'm not too sensitive to the specific size; family: font setting. I personally understand what font type is used. I don't know what serif means.

Mapping can be set, which is equivalent to setting the abbreviation of font for ease of use. Shown in the example.

2. Graphic size and boundary

pin: figure width and height; mai: boundary size, bottom left, top right, inches; mar: different from mai unit, English minute. The default value is

c(5,4,4,2)+0.1. You can use par().

Are assigned by numeric vectors.

3. Add title and custom axis

(1) Set inside the drawing function. recommend.

dose<-c(2,4,6,8,10)
drugA<-c(5,10,15,18,20)
drugB<-c(3,7,12,18,25)
p1<-plot(dose,drugA,type = "b",col = "blue",lty = 2,pch = 16,lwd = 2,#In the previous section, we talked about these parameters
         main = "Trials for DrugA",col.main = "red",cex.main = 2,font.main = 2,#Set main title related information
         sub = "p1,This data is made up by xyf",col.sub = "pink",font.sub = 3,
         xlab = "Dosage",ylab = "Drug_Response",#Horizontal and vertical axis label
         cex.axis =1.5,cex.lab = 1.5,#Scale and label text size
         xlim = c(0,12),ylim = c(0,30),#set range
         mai = c(0.5,0.5,1,1)#The distance between the picture and the label title can be set when necessary
         )

(2) Set outside the mapping function, title(); axis().   Erase the default before use, otherwise it will be added directly.

plot(dose,drugA,type = "b",lty = 3,pch = 16,ann = F)#ann = F, erase the original title
title(main = "DrugA",sub = "p1,This data is made up by xyf",
      col.sub = "pink",font.sub = 3,#Pink, italic.
      xlab = "Dosage",ylab = "Drug_Response",col.lab = "blue")

  The coordinate axes in the figure above are used by default. Now try to erase them all and reset them.

plot(c(0,2,4,6,8,10),c(0,5,10,15,18,20),type = "b",lty = 3,pch = 16,ann = F,axes = F)#Only lines and points
axis(side = 2,#Left plus scale
     at = c(seq(0,24,4)),#Where do you want to add it
     labels = NULL,#There is no need to set it here, just use the number in at
     lty = 1,pos = c(0,0),#Where does it intersect another axis
     col = "blue",las = 2#Vertical axis
     )
axis(side = 1,#Add scale down
     at = c(seq(0,12,2)),#Where do you want to add it
     labels = NULL,#There is no need to set it here, just use the number in at
     lty = 1,pos = c(0,0),#Where does it intersect another axis
     col = "blue",las = 0#Parallel to axis
)
title(main = "DrugA",sub = "p1,This data is made up by xyf",
      col.sub = "pink",font.sub = 3,#Pink, italic.
      xlab = "Dosage",ylab = "Drug_Response",col.lab = "blue")

I have to say that it's tiring and laborious. It's still (1) more convenient. Personally, I think.

  (4) Guides and legends

Ah, that's it first. Write the next one next time. Have a rest at the weekend.
