perfect, thanks.

unfortunately this does not work. 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?
Have a nice weekend,
Thomas
