Size and of plot and/or square #97

Closed pgmikhael closed 7 years ago

pgmikhael commented 7 years ago

Hi!

I'm plotting a correlation plot with 10 variables using method="number". I'm trying to export the plot with large font sizes (number.cex = 3, tl.cex = 3) for publication purposes, but the squares do not increase in size to accommodate the large font. Is there a way to modify this?

I'm not sure why you need cex=3, but try this:

pdf('my_out.pdf', width = 20, height = 20)
corrplot(cor(mtcars), method = "number", number.cex = 3)
dev.off()

Hi! Thank you for this!

I need the larger fonts because the plot is going to be placed in a figure panel for a science paper, and the text will be too small to read otherwise.

vsimko commented 7 years ago

If I were you, I would keep the default value for cex and I would rather experimented with smaller values for width and height in my example above. Then, I would resize the generated PDF figure as needed inside my LaTeX source using e.g. \includegraphics[width=0.90\linewidth]{my_out.pdf}
