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.
