Question

In lattice graphics, I am putting x axis ticks and labels on each plot box using scales=list(alternating=3). Is there a parameter that will shift labels left/right (or up/down, for that matter)? For example, my x axis labels are time step numbers. When the last (rightmost) label has more than 3 characters (e.g. “1500”), the rightmost characters extend over the next plot box unless I add a lot of space between boxes (which I’d rather avoid). I’m keeping lots of space between ticks using the ‘at’ parameter of scales, so there is space to shift “1500” left, e.g. putting the last “0” over the tick mark.

Answer 1

Or maybe simply rotate the labels with scale=list(alternating=3, rot = 30) or whatever angle fits. Didier
