In barplot, is it possible to make the labels parallel to the bars?
Suppose we have the data frame called "data".
Page PV UniquePgv
1 /photos/upcoming 5295 2733
2 / 4821 2996
3 /search 1201 605
4 /my_photos 827 340
5 /photos/circle 732 482
I want to make a barplot of PV with the Page column as the label.
names <-data$Page
barplot(data$PV,main="Page Views", horiz=TRUE,names.arg=names)
Which Produces:
The name of each bar is vertical, while the bars are horizontal.
How can I make the labels display horizontally and parallel with the bars? If it is not possible, I am open to suggestions for other ways to plot this information.
You can use the las
graphics parameter. However, if you do that, the names will run off the end of the window, so you need to change the margins. For example:
par(mai=c(1,2,1,1))
barplot(data$PV,main="Page Views", horiz=TRUE,names.arg=names,las=1)
