I have run into a potential bug somewhere between format (specifically scientific notation) and plotmath that results in displaying: $1e+01^{2e+00}$ instead of $10^2$ Reproduce by: plot.new() a=format(10, scientific=TRUE) mtext(expression(10^2), line=1) # looks like $1e+01^{2e+00}$ 10 # this fixes the problem on the next line mtext(expression(10^2), line=2) # looks like $10^2$ I can

Hi, I often use par(mex = 0.5) as an easy way to shrink space used for margins. However, I recently noticed that this leads to an asymmetry in the positioning of the x vs. y axis labels and xlab / ylab -- the x-axis labels are pushed into the tic-marks, while the y-axis labels look fine. A more extreme example: dev.new() par(mex=.1, mar=c(10,10,10,10)) plot(1:10) Tracking this down in the
