Sundar,

Thank you very much.  I see my mistake.  Much appreciated.

Because you're not calling trellis.par.set correctly. It should be:

trellis.par.set(par.ylab.text = list(cex = 0.65), par.xlab.text =
list(cex = 0.65))

However, I usually do things like this:

my.theme <- list(par.ylab.text = list(cex = 0.65), par.xlab.text =
list(cex = 0.65))
barchart(..., par.settings = my.theme)

so the settings are only changed for the current plot and not globally.

HTH,

Hello

I'm plotting a large suite of barcharts and need to modify the size of

the

text for both the yaxis and xaxis labels.

I've tried using the following:

trellis.par.set(list(par.ylab.text = list(cex = 0.65)),

trellis.par.set(list = par.xlab.text = list(cex = 0.65))))

On inspection, ?however after I invoke this line,

?trellis.par.get("par.ylab.text")
?trellis.par.get("par.xlab.text")

It looks like the parameters have not been modified.

Do I need to do something different than this approach ?

Thank you very much in advance.

Steve
