Incorrect R terminology. A function in R is a specific sort of object and a formula is a different sort of object.  R terminology for the use of "labels = 1/xvalue" inside the arguments to a function may be something along the lines of "assignment in a pairlist". I was rather loosely calling it an "expression".

And as I said in the context you have failed to include was that R does not "rememeber" or "store" the locations "where where they would have been placed without the formula." It doesn't have access to the arguments used in the prior plot call.

Nabble is not R-help. Please read the Posting Guide that Nabble suppresses in its effort to masquerade as Rhelp.

This should have appeared at the bottom of every posting were it not for Nabble suppressing it:

R-help at r-project.org mailing list
https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
