Full_Name: Jerome Asselin Version: 1.3.0 OS: Windows 98 Submission from: (NULL) (24.77.112.193) I have a hard time to magnify the axis annotations in barplot() Here are some examples: #This one has no effect. barplot(1:3,names.arg=1:3,cex.axis=3,xlab="x",ylab="y") #This one magnifies the x and y labels barplot(1:3,names.arg=1:3,cex.lab=3,xlab="x",ylab="y") #This one has no effect. barplot(1:3,names.arg=1:3,cex=3,xlab="x",ylab="y") Maybe this could be added to the "wish list". I assume that I will be able to create my own axis with the axis() function. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

An example: barplot(1:3, names.arg=1:3, xlab="x", ylab="y") axis(1, at=1:3) Uwe Ligges -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

I've added a note to the help page for R-patched giving Uwe's workaround, and will shortly parse ... for R-devel so cex.axis can be inlined.
