Dear all, for a publication I have to change cex.axis and cex.lab. I'm already using Paul Murrell's workaround to increase the distance of the axes' titles by adding "\n". However, I found no method to either increase the distance of the labels or set their justification (by adj or hadj). They are centered (adj 0.5), which may lead to overlapping. Example: x <- seq(-10, 10, length = 100) y <- x f <- function(x,y) { r <- sqrt(x^2+y^2); 0.1*sin(r)/r } z <- outer(x, y, f) library(plot3D) persp3D(x = x, y = y, z = z, ticktype = "detailed", colkey = FALSE, cex.lab = 2, cex.axis = 1.5, xlab = "\nmy x", ylab = "\nmy y", zlab = "\n\nmy z") ?persp mentions hadj only for the colkey-argument ?perspbox tells me that other arguments can be passed to persp There I find that additional parameters might be set in par. However, adj seems to be valid only for text, mtext and title (not for labels in axis). Now I'm stuck. Is there a method to(1) pass an argument to adjust text and (2) if yes, can it be set independently for the three axes? In my example centered for x and y is fine, but for z I would liketo have the labels right-justified. I was thinking about writing the labels by text3D (and format them by sprintf), but then I'm facing another collision. In order to prevent the default-labels to be displayed I have to switch to ticktype="simple". Then I (1) loose the ticks and (2) get the arrows which I don't want.
