[R] Dot chart question

[Peter Flom]

Thanks, this worked.  I had tried

fx.dotchart2(freqrelig[order(freqrelig)],
 label = levels(religfact)[order(freqrelig)],
 main = 'Religions among young adults in Bushwick \n (log scale)',
 xlab = 'Frequency', log = 'x', cex.axis = .7)

which did nothing.......

   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,
