base R change axis line width
To change the axis line width in base R, you can follow the steps below:
Identify the plot or chart where you want to change the axis line width. Make sure you have the necessary data and have created the plot using the basic R plotting functions (e.g.,
plot
,barplot
,boxplot
, etc.).Once you have the plot, use the
par
function to modify the graphical parameters. Specifically, you will use thelwd
parameter to change the axis line width. Thelwd
parameter accepts a numeric value that represents the line width. Higher values indicate thicker lines.To change the axis line width, use the following syntax:
par(lwd = value)
Replace value
with the desired line width. For example, if you want a line width of 2, you would use par(lwd = 2)
.
- After setting the
lwd
parameter, proceed with plotting your data or chart using the appropriate function. The axis lines will now have the specified line width.
Note: It's important to note that the par
function modifies the graphical parameters globally for the current R session. If you want to reset the line width back to the default value, you can use par(lwd = 1)
.
That's it! Following these steps will allow you to change the axis line width in base R.
