R help - Mar 2004 - persp(), axis font size

Is there a way to adjust the font size for axis labels when using 
persp()? The parameter cex works for adjusting the global font size, but 
  I can't seem to make cex.lab or cex.axis work for adjusting these 
values independently. Or, is there a preferred method for making surface 
plots in R?

I'm using R version 1.8.

Thanks,

Manuel

persp() currently ignores cex.axis, cex.lab (and col.axis and font.axis 
...).

p.s.  For the record, I don't think it would be hard to get persp() to 
respond to these parameters;  there are a few lines of code in do_axis 
in plot.c (for example, ...

     Rf_gpptr(dd)->cex = Rf_gpptr(dd)->cexbase * Rf_gpptr(dd)->cexaxis;

...) that could be copied into perspAxis in plot3d.c and I think that 
would do the trick.
