[R] plot question

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Trying characters and expressions variously it seems that font.lab applies
to character strings but not to expressions so if you want to use an expression
just use bold (or whatever) explicitly on the expression.  One gotcha is that
bold will not work as one might have expected on numbers so they must 
be represented as character strings -- which is why we have used "3" rather 
than 3 below.

plot(rnorm(10),rnorm(10),xlab=quote(bold(year)),ylab=quote(bold("Mx10"^"3")))
