R help - Nov 2010 - cannot see the y-labels (getting cut-off)

Hi All,

When I run the following code, I cannot see the entire number. As opposed
to seeing 1,000,000,000. I only see 000,000 because the rest is cut off.

The cex option doesn't seem to be doing anything at all.

y<-seq(1e09,5e09,1e09);
plot(1:5,y,ylab='',yaxt='n' );
axis(2, at=y,
labels=formatC(y,big.mark=",",format="fg"),las=2,cex=0.1);

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Sachin
p.s. sorry about corporate notice.

increase the margins on the plot:
