Force printing of excluded axis annotations

Howdy,
    This should be simple, but I am finding that I can't find a simple
solution.  I have a plot to which I am manually adding the annotations
to the y-axis with this command:

axis(2, c(-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7),labels=c(-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7),cex.axis=8)

The issue is that, apparently, R doesn't think that the -1 can fit,
even though there is most certainly enough space.  Is there a way to
force R to print all the annotations I give it, regardless of
proximity or to reduce the space it believes it needs? Thank you.

If you really want to plot all and R thinks it dos not fit although you 
believe it does, you can plot in two sets (first even, then odd numbers, 
for example).

Hi Justin,
The staxlab function (plotrix) will squeeze labels, just set nlines=1.
