[R] Dot chart question

[Chuck Cleland]

   See cex.axis and other cex.* arguments to par() in ?par.  For example:

 > data(VADeaths)
 >      dotchart(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940")
 > par(cex.axis = .6)
 >      dotchart(VADeaths, main = "Death Rates in Virginia - 1940")

hope this helps,
