R help - Jul 2000 - xlab not displayed when 'expression' is used

Hi all,
When using the function expression to label the axis of a plot. I found
that it labeled the
y-axis correctly but left no label on the x-axis.

The command I'm using is as follows
    plot(x,y,xlab=expression(v[junc]),ylab=expression(c[junc]))

Any help is much appreciated
Margaret Riordan

It's a bug in the C code. This is the third report of it. It's fixed in
R-patched, but on Windows you may prefer to wait for R1.1.1 rather than
compiling yourself.  

A possible work-around is to use mtext() to write the label.
