Why does the scale of my graph change when I save my plot as an svg?

[brant]

I have created a graph in R Studio, and the graph looks good in the "Plots" window (i.e., my axis intervals range from -800 to 100), however, when I save the plot as an image, I lose the "100" interval. Does anyone know why this is happening or a work around for this?

Thanks

I have tried customizing the axis from the default using the code:

axis(side = 2, at = c(100, 0, -100, -200, -300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -800), family = "A", cex.axis = 1.5)

Once again, the plot looks good in the "Plots" window, but then when I save the plot as an image, the 100 interval is cut off.

It is probably a matter of fiddling with .svg co-ordinates but I think we need a see your code and some sample data.

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…

Thank you, I have included my code, as well as the data that I am working on (phosphate.dat - provided below).

create a plot for phosphate

phosphate.dat <- read.csv("phosphate.csv")
phosphate.dat
phosphateplot <- barplot(phosphate.dat$mean~phosphate.dat$Site, ylim = c(-800, 200), xlab = "Site", ylab = "Phosphate Reduction (%)", family = "A", cex.lab = 1.5, cex.axis = 1.5, cex.sub = 1.5, cex = 1.5, yaxt = 'n')

phosphateplot <- barplot(phosphate.dat$mean~phosphate.dat$Site, ylim = c(-800, 200), xlab = "Site", ylab = "Phosphate Reduction (%)", family = "A", cex.lab = 1.5, cex.axis = 1.5, cex.sub = 1.5, cex = 1.5, yaxt = 'n')

axis(side = 2, at = c(100, 0, -100, -200, -300, -400, -500, -600, -700, -800), family = "A", cex.axis = 1.5)

arrows(x0 = phosphateplot,
y0 = phosphate.dat$mean + phosphate.dat$se,
y1 = phosphate.dat$mean - phosphate.dat$se,
angle = 90,
code = 3,
length = 0.1)

I am not sure why everything looks good in the plots panel, but not when I export
