[R] parameter couldn't be set in high-level plot() function

[R user]

Dear R users,

I am using function bandplot from the gplots package.
To my understanding (viewing the source of bandplot) it calls
function plot (add = FALSE) with the same parameters (except for a few
removed).

I would like to give extra parameters 'xlab' and 'ylab' to function
bandplot, but, as can be seen below, that raises warnings (and the
labels do not show up at the end).

It does work to call title(... xlab="blah", ylab="foo") after bandplot
(), but then I have two labels on top of each other, which is even more
ugly.

Can anyone explain me why this goes wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Jonne.


> x11() ; bandplot(x=xdata, y=zdata)

[works fine]

> x11() ; bandplot(x=xdata, y=zdata, xlab="blah", ylab="foo")
