For example, if we want to rotate the text to 45 degree then srt = -45 can be used.

1. Example1. Live Demo > plot(1:10,type=”n”) > text(x=5,y=5,”Text inside plot”)
2. Example2. Live Demo > plot(1:10,type=”n”) > text(x=5,y=5,”Text inside plot”,srt=-20)
3. Example3.

To change the axis scales on a plot in base R, we can use the xlim() and ylim() functions.

Rotating Text

1. Select the cells whose text you want to rotate.
2. Choose Format – Cells. You will see the Format Cells dialog.
3. Click the Alignment tab.
4. In the Text orientation area use the mouse to select in the preview wheel the direction in which the text is to be rotated. Click OK.

Here’s how to use the mText command:

1. Set an appropriate text style current, and (optional) turn off running object snaps.
2. On the Home tab’s Annotation panel, click the upper part of the split button, labeled Text, to start the mText command.
3. Pick a point in the drawing.

You change FONTS with the STYLE command. enter STYLE, select the style to change, select new font. All text (without a font override) using that style will match the new font. You change the STYLE of text in properties, select the text and change the style in the properties window to match what you desire.

How to change font size of text and axes on R plots. To change the font size of text elements, use cex (short for character expansion ratio). The default value is 1. To reduce the text size, use a cex value of less than 1; to increase the text size, use a cex value greater than 1.

Go to the menu in RStudio and click on Tools and then Global Options. Select the Appearance tab on the left. Again buried in the middle of things is the font size. Change this to 14 or 16 to start with and see what it looks like.

How to change the text direction in LibreOffice?

1. Ctrl+Shift+D or Ctrl+Right Shift Key – switch to right-to-left text entry.
2. Ctrl+Shift+A or Ctrl+Left Shift Key – switch to left-to-right text entry.

Click on the Alignment tab. In the Text Orientation section (OpenOffice.org 1.1. x: Text Direction) drag the dot on the circle to the bottom of the circle (or enter 270 in the Degrees box). This will rotate the text in the selected cell by 270 degrees.

To write the text in a base R plot, firstly we should create a blank chart by using type=”n” if we want to plot only text then the text should be introduced with the help of text function. Now, if we want to rotate the text value then srt argument can be used. For example, if we want to rotate the text to 45 degree then srt = -45 can be used.

The posand offsetarguments can be used in conjunction with values returned by identifyto recreate an interactively labelled plot. Text can be rotated by using graphical parameterssrt(see par). When adjis specified, a non-zero srtrotates the label about (x, y).

At present there is no interface in the graphicspackage for directly rotating text about its center which is achievable however by fiddling with adjand srtsimultaneously. Graphical parameters col, cexand fontcan be vectors and will then be applied cyclically to the labels(and extra values will be ignored).

If you have a grouping variable you can pass it to the labels argument of the text function to label the observations. You can set the position specifying the variables and fine-tuning them. The mtext function can be used to add text to all sides of a plot, which can be specified using the side argument.
