Multi-line y label in plot
17,274
Solution 1
You need to set the margins using mar
or mgp
:
l <- 10
op <- par(mar=c(5, 6, 4, 2) + 0.1)
plot(0:l, (0:l), type='l',
yaxt='n',
xlab='Index',
ylab='Cumulative sum\nof the sorted weights')
par(op)
Solution 2
Like @smillig suggested, you do it with par
, changing the mar
or mgp
parameters.
But you have to call par
before you call plot
.

Is there a way to create multi-line labels for the y axis in an R plot?
I have tried adding a
\n
where the newline should be, but then the first line of the label gets clipped:l <- 10 plot(0:l, (0:l), type='l', yaxt='n', xlab='Index', ylab='Cumulative sum\nof the sorted weights')
This happens both with the
tikzDevice
and inside RStudio. Also, I tried some of thepar()
options with no luck. How to do it properly?(The oversized uper margin bothers me, too...)
