I can't seem to control the size of the numeric labels for my contour plots. I am using "cex.axis", which works with plot(): this makes the tick mark labels very large plot( 1:3, 1:3, cex.axis=2.0, ) but this doesn't change them: contour( 1:3, 1:3, array( data=0:9, dim=c(3,3) ), cex.axis=2.0, ) Is there a replacement for cex.axis in contour()? thanks, greg
