Can you help me on putting labels on the following graph?
The code i use is:
valbanks<-scan("banks.txt", what=list(0,0,""), sep="", skip=1, comment.char="#")
valbanks
valj2007<-valbanks[[1]]
valj2009<-valbanks[[2]]
namebank<-valbanks[[3]]
percent_losses<-(valj2009-valj2007)/valj2007
percent_losses
abs_losses<-(valj2007-valj2009)
abs_losses
plot(abs_losses, percent_losses,main="Absolute Losses vs. Relative Losses(in%)",xlab="Losses (absolute, in miles of millions)",ylab="Losses relative (in % of January´2007 value",col="blue", pch = 19, cex = 1, lty = "solid", lwd = 2,text(percet_losses, abs_losses,namebank))
text(percet_losses, abs_losses,labels=namebank, cex= 0.7, offset = 10)
and the data is:
Value_Jan_2007 Value_Jan_2009 Bank #
49 16 Morgan_Stanley
120 4.6 RBS
76 10.3 Deutsche_Bank
67 17 Credit_Agricole
80 26 Societé_Generale
91 7.4 Barclays
108 32.5 BNP-Paribas
93 26 Unicredit
116 35 UBS
75 27 Credit_Suise
100 35 Goldman_Sachs
116 64 Santander
255 19 Citigroup
165 85 JP_Morgan
215 97 HSBC
Thank you very much
What is the option to put the label at the bottom, right, up, left,... ?
Summarizing: I want a graph similar that the one that is in the second message from this post but there is no the code there.
What code i have to put?
if i put text(percet_losses, abs_losses,namebank), i obtain nothing: the graph continue without changes.
Could you show me the code i need to put?
Thanks
This question is related to
r
label
point
scatter-plot
The answer is
You should use labels attribute inside plot function and the value of this attribute should be the vector containing the values that you want for each point to have.
I have tried directlabels package for putting text labels. In the case of scatter plots it's not still perfect, but much better than manually adjusting the positions, specially in the cases that you are preparing the draft plots and not the final one - so you need to change and make plot again and again -.
For just plotting a vector, you should use the following command:
text(your.vector, labels=your.labels, cex= labels.size, pos=labels.position)
