R help - Mar 2004 - identify() and controlling label size

I thought this was going to be easy ...
Can the label size of identify() be controlled by setting par(cex.*) because
I'm having no luck? My only recourse is to save the index and position of
the labels from identify() and use text() to replot them.

Regards
Alex

  Funny, it seems to ignore that, but allows 'col=' and 'font='
to set
the font colour and type.

  But! It accepts 'ps=' to set the point size! You may be saved...

Try:

plot(1:10)
identify(1:10,ps=24)
identify(1:10,ps=12)

Thank-you it works! I have ignored ps and relied on the cex arguments until
now.
