R help - Mar 2007 - Can I scale the labels in a 'persp' graph?

Hi all:

I'm using 'persp' for 3D graphics.

I need the axis's labels smaller than by defect.

I see in 'help()', the information about 'par()'.

I have wrote:
>par(.....,cex.axis=0.5,cex.lab=0.5)
perspc(.................)

and the result don't change.

The question is: Can I change the size of labels in the perps graph??

Thank you in advance:

'cex.axis' The magnification to be used for axis annotation
           relative to the current setting of 'cex'. (Some functions
           such as 'points' accept a vector of values which are
           recycled.  Other uses will take just the first value if a
           vector of length greater than one is supplied.)

'cex.lab' The magnification to be used for x and y labels relative
           to the current setting of 'cex'.

Those don't appear to be supported by persp, but cex is: e.g.

x <- 1:10
y <- 1:10
z <- outer(x,y,function(x,y) sin((x+y)/10))
persp(x,y,z, cex=0.5)

I've added this to ?persp and ?par, but I wondered if people thought we 
should change this to be like 2D plots.  Especially Ross I., who I believe 
is the author here?
