I've added a note to the help page for R-patched giving Uwe's workaround, and will shortly parse ... for R-devel so cex.axis can be inlined.

From the help:
... further graphical parameters (par) are passed to plot.window() and title(). [let me add: ... and not to axis()...] But you can use: par(cex.axis=3) barplot(1:3, names.arg=1:3, xlab="x", ylab="y")
#This one magnifies the x and y labels barplot(1:3,names.arg=1:3,cex.lab=3,xlab="x",ylab="y")
... as expected.
#This one has no effect. barplot(1:3,names.arg=1:3,cex=3,xlab="x",ylab="y")
In this case (no symbols are drawn inside the plot, ...) also expected.
Maybe this could be added to the "wish list". I assume that I will be able to create my own axis with the axis() function.
Without looking at the code not so easy as the workaround described above. An example: barplot(1:3, names.arg=1:3, xlab="x", ylab="y") axis(1, at=1:3) Uwe Ligges -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-devel mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
