[R] axis labels

[S Ellison]

They probably look different because the y-axis distance is to the
bottom of the number and the x-axis to the top; character adjustment is
putting the actual locations in the 'same' place but with opposing
orientation.

Try fooling about with the mgp argument in axis():

par(mfrow=c(1,1), cex.axis = 0.5, cex.lab = 0.5)
plot(1,1, axes = F)
axis(1, mgp=c(3,0.7,0))
axis(2, mgp=c(3,1,0))

Dear list,
why does the distance between the axis labels and the tick marks looks
different for x axis and y axis in the plot (see code below).
In fact, the x axis labels look furthest from the tickmarks than in the
y
axis.
How can I make them look the same?

 par(mfrow=c(1,1), cex.axis = 0.5, cex.lab = 0.5)
plot(1,1, axes = F)
axis(1)
axis(2)

Thanks in advance

Jonas
