R help - Jul 2011 - lattice: How to vertically adjust an axis label?

Dear expeRts,

How can I vertically adjust an axis tick label so that it is nicely aligned with
the other labels?

library(lattice)
xyplot(0~0, xlim=c(0,3), scales=list(x=list(at=c(1,1.1),
labels=c(expression(hat(theta)[italic(n)]),expression(theta)))))
## aim: move the leftmost expression up so that theta is nicely aligned with the
second theta.

Cheers,

Marius

I don't know how to make a phantom <hat>,  so see if this is any more
aesthetically acceptable:

xyplot(0~0, xlim=c(0,3), scales=list(x=list(at=c(1,1.1),    labels=c(
       expression(atop(phantom(), hat(theta)[italic(n)])),
        expression(atop(phantom(),theta))                     )
         )))
