R Plot Parameters Guide

In R programming language, you can use the plot() function to create graphs and adjust their styles by setting parameters. Here are some common plot parameters and their settings:

1. X: specifies the x-axis coordinate value of the data to be plotted.
2. y: designated y-axis coordinate value for the data to be plotted.
3. Specify the type of graph to be plotted, such as “p” for scatter plot, “l” for line plot, or “b” for both line and scatter plot.
4. Main: Set the title of the graphic.
5. xlab and ylab: labels for the x-axis and y-axis.
6. Set the range of the x-axis and y-axis with xlim and ylim.
7. Set the color of the point or line.
8. pch: specify the shape of the points.
9. lty: specify the line type.
10. cex: Adjust the size of the points.
11. legend: include a caption.

For example, here is a simple example demonstrating how to use the plot() function and parameters to draw a basic scatter plot.

x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
y <- c(2, 4, 6, 8, 10)

plot(x, y, type = "p", col = "red", pch = 16, main = "Scatter Plot", xlab = "X Axis", ylab = "Y Axis")

By adjusting various parameters, customized graphics can be created to meet specific requirements. For more parameter settings, please refer to the official documentation of R language or use help(plot) for detailed instructions.
