I am using biwavelet
package to conduct wavelet analysis. However, when I want to adjust the label size for axis using cex.axis
, the label size does not changed. On the other hand, cex.lab
and cex.main
are working well. Is this a bug? The following gives a reproducible example.
library(biwavelet)
t1 <- cbind(1:100, rnorm(100))
t2 <- cbind(1:100, rnorm(100))
# Continuous wavelet transform
wt.t1 <- wt(t1)
par(oma = c(0, 0.5, 0, 0), mar = c(4, 2, 2, 4))
plot(wt.t1,plot.cb = T,plot.phase = T,type = 'power.norm',
xlab = 'Time(year)',ylab = 'Period(year)',mgp=c(2,1,0),
main='Winter station 1',cex.main=0.8,cex.lab=0.8,cex.axis=0.8)
Edit
There was a previous question on this site a month ago: Wavelets plot: changing x-, y- axis, and color plot, but not solved. Any help this time? Thank you!
Yeah, it is a bug. Here is patched version: my.plot.biwavelet()
This version accepts argument cex.axis
(defaults to 1), and you can change it when needed. I will briefly explain to you what the problem is, in the "explanation" section in the end.

Test
library(biwavelet)
t1 <- cbind(1:100, rnorm(100))
t2 <- cbind(1:100, rnorm(100))
# Continuous wavelet transform
wt.t1 <- wt(t1)
par(oma = c(0, 0.5, 0, 0), mar = c(4, 2, 2, 4))
my.plot.biwavelet(wt.t1,plot.cb = T,plot.phase = T,type = 'power.norm',
xlab = 'Time(year)',ylab = 'Period(year)',mgp=c(2,1,0),
main='Winter station 1',cex.main=0.8,cex.lab=0.8,cex.axis=0.8)
As expected, it is working.
Explanation
In plot.biwavelet()
, why passing cex.axis
via ...
does not work?
plot.biwavelet()
generates the your final plot mainly in 3 stages:
image(..., xaxt = "n", yaxt = "n")
for generating basic plot;axis(1, at = atTicks(1)); axis(2, at = atTicks(2))
for adding axis;fields::image.plot()
for displaying colour legend strip.Now, although this function takes ...
, they are only fed to the first image()
call, while the following axis()
, (including polygon(), contour()
, phase.plot()
) and image.plot()
take none from ...
. When later calling axis()
, no flexible specification with respect to axis control are supported.
I guess during package development time, problem described as in: Giving arguments from “…” argument to right function in R had been encountered. Maybe the author did not realize this potential issue, leaving a bug here. My answer to that post, as well as Roland's comments, points toward a robust fix.
I am not the package author so can not decide how he will fix this. My fix is brutal, but works for you temporary need: just add the cex.axis
argument to axis()
call. I have reached Tarik (package author) with an email, and I believe he will give you a much better explanation and solution.
