Suppress the 'label' production for both x-axis and y-axis "titles" (by assigning them to "") and then use the `title` function (twice) to separately construct your colored labels. I had difficulty learning that the term "label" in hte plot-function documentation referred only to the single valued axis title and not to the multiple numeric or text axis annotations at the tick marks. The word "lable" is used to refer to both sets of values.. > > Pointers to the obvious solution welcomed in advance. > > > Cheers.... > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] Plain text. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
