Question on function "scatterplot3d"

Hi all,
  I have a question with regard to making plots using function
"scatterplot3d".
Please see the example below. It looks like, for y axis, the tickmark text
was cutoff.
The number "10" does not show up completely. I tried to work with par(mpg).
It does not
seem to work. Hope to get some advice here. Thanks much!

C <- runif(30)
B <- rep(1:3, each=10)
A <- rep(1:10,3)
scatterplot3d(B,A,C, type = "h", lwd = 1, pch = 16, color="red",  main =
"",
              grid=TRUE,  col.grid="lightgreen",
              xlab="x", ylab="y", zlab="z?)

Everything seems ok to me. Try to reset/clear all plots in your plotting window and try only to run the code above. Perhaps You changed par settings before in some point?

I tried the code given above, and after I replaced the <expletive 
deleted> incorrect double quote mark (after the final "z"), it ran and 
looked OK *except* for the positioning of the "y" axis label, which is 
at the "far end" of the y-axis rather than being at the "centre" of the 
y-axis.  (See attached.)

Is this a bug?

cheers,

Rolf Turner

P.S. I have also attached the code in the file "scatScript.txt", for 
convenience.

A design flaw, whether the labels are cut depends somewhat on the sizce 
of the device, hence there is the argument

y.margin.add

add additional space between tick mark labels and axis label of the y axis

for working around that limittation that can be set to some positive 
value....

This seems to be addressing Hannah's (li li's) original enquiry, not my 
follow-up in which I worried about the position, along the y-axis, of 
the y-axis label.

Or am I misunderstanding/missing something?

cheers,

Ah, that is intended as a smart way of rotating it along the axis is not
easy (if not impossible) with the bas egraohics system.

Best,
