[R] boxplot axis font size

2014-05-25 Thread Brian Smith 
Hi,

I wanted to have a different font for my x-axis and y-axis. How can I use
the par function to specify different font sizes for x and y axis? For
example:

x - matrix(rnorm(2000),200,10)
colnames(x) - letters[1:10]
par(cex.axis=0.5)
boxplot(x,cex=0.2)

But this sets the font size to 0.5 for both the x and y axis? How can I
make the y-axis to 1.5?

thanks.

How about:

 boxplot(x,cex=0.2,axes=FALSE)
 axis(1,cex.axis=0.5)
 axis(2,cex.axis=1.5)

Does that get you what you want?

cheers,
