Hi

I'd appreciate some help with plotting odds ratios. I want to rotate the
labels on the x-axis by 45 degrees.

The usual way of doing this, using text - e.g. text(1, par('usr')[3]-2.25..)
- gives no result when the y-axis is a log scale.

I guess this is because, as the par help says, for a logarithmic y-axis:
y-limits will be 10 ^ par("usr")[3:4]



Does anyone know a solution for this?



The example below works well if log='y' is omitted.



Thanks very much for your help

Tim



#Create plot with log-scale on the y-axis

par(mar = c(7, 4, 4, 2) + 0.1)

plot(1, type='n', bty='n',

    xlab="",

    ylab='Odds Ratio',

    xlim= c(0.5,4.5),

    ylim= c(0.75, 2),

    cex=2, xaxt='n', yaxt='n', cex.lab=1.3,

    log='y')



# Line of unity

segments(0,1,10,1, lwd=2, lty=2)



#Estimates and confidence intervals

points(c(1:4),c(1.1,1.32,1.14,1.36), pch=17, cex=1.5, col='blue')

segments (c(1:4),c(0.93,1.11,0.94,1.15),c(1:4),c(1.3,1.58,1.37,1.61),

      col='blue', lwd=2)



axis(1,c(1:4), labels= F)

axis(2, at=seq(0.75,2, by=0.25), labels=seq(0.75,2, by=0.25), las=1)

labels <- paste("Label", 1:4, sep = " ")

text(1:4-0.25, par('usr')[3]-0.15, xpd=TRUE, labels=labels, adj=0.1, srt=45)

mtext("Exposure", side=1, line=4.5, cex=1.5)
