Hi Jim, thank you very much for your answers!

In the new code on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:EurUsd.png I included the following: #library("plotrix") #boxed.labels(x=10800,y=1.5,labels="Beeblebrox",bg="steelblue",border=FALSE,col="white",font=2,cex=3,adj=0) which gives a much too smal box. Perhaps the boxsize is not adjusted if the "cex" argument is used for the text?
