I am trying to use wireframe at the moment and the axis labels are overlapping with the tick labels. It seems that gpar does not yet utilize the mgp argument. Is there anyway to manipulate the position of the axis labels? The best I can manage so far is to manipulate the cex so as to shrink everything down. thanks, Carlo Maley -- Dr. Carlo C.

[R] manipulating axis labels in grid and lattice
When I used my own axis labels in a plot I used the mtext() function with option 'adj' to specify the distance from the axis, and 'las' to specify the orientation. An example is the following: mtext(labels , side=1 , at=1:3 , las=3 , adj=2 , cex=0.7); Number 3 in 'las' means "labels perpendicular to the axis". Number 2 in 'adj' needs not be an integer, and it was set by trial and error. I hope this helps. At 03:56 PM 1/7/2002 -0700, Carlo C.

Higher-level parameters, such as mgp, are only relevant to specific high-level graphical objects, such as plots, and should therefore only be specified in the creation/modification of the relevant high-level object. </design goal> For this reason, mgp and many other par() parameters will never appear in gpar(). Now for some information that may actually be useful ... :) You might be able to use the "scales" argument of wireframe, in particular something like scales=list(distance=1.5). This positioning looks a little bit rough; I have cc'ed Deepayan in case he can suggest a better solution.

Using
<br>
scales=list(distance=c(1.5, 1.5, 1))<br>
worked, but only when distance was an array with a value for each
axis.<br>
<br>
