dear list:
in the following plot:
plot(rnorm(10),rnorm(10),xlab="year",ylab=expression
(paste('M x'*10^{3},)),font.lab=2)
font.lab=2, but xlab and ylab are different. I want
both labels in the same way. help?

Trying characters and expressions variously it seems that font.lab applies
to character strings but not to expressions so if you want to use an expression
just use bold (or whatever) explicitly on the expression. One gotcha is that
bold will not work as one might have expected on numbers so they must
be represented as character strings -- which is why we have used "3"
rather
than 3 below.
plot(rnorm(10),rnorm(10),xlab=quote(bold(year)),ylab=quote(bold("Mx10"^"3")))

I refer you to ?title and its given examples.
try this --
plot(rnorm(10),rnorm(10),xlab=" ",ylab=" ")
title(xlab="year",
ylab=expression(paste('M x'*10^{3},)),font=2)
note that 'title()' will alos accept a list for x and y labs,
for additional parameters,e.g., 'col' and 'cex'

Gabor,
I thought that I had worked around the 'expression' format problem,
but if the x-y labels are to be bold, then using,say, cex.lab=1.25 in the
title(), appears to simulate 'bold' font very well, both for the ylab
maths
expression and xlab text.
Your solution is the rigorous one!
John
for example --
plot(rnorm(10),rnorm(10),xlab=" ",ylab=" ")
title(xlab="year",
ylab=expression(paste("M x"*10^{3})),font.lab=1,col.lab=4,
cex.lab=1.25)
