[R] Managing axis labels

[Ivan Calandra]

Hi Jamil,

You first need to specify 'xaxt' and 'yaxt' in your plot() call, and 
then you can set the size of the labels with cex.axis:

plot(x, y, xlab=expression(vartheta), ylab="Concentration", xaxt="n", 
yaxt="n")axis(1, cex.axis=3) axis(2, cex.axis=2)

HTH,
Ivan
