Font size of axis labels
Hilmar Berger · Jan 17, 2006 · r-help

Hi all, In R, it is not possible to set the font size of axis labels directly (AFAIK). Instead, scaling factors for the font chosen by the graphics device can be supplied. It appears that there is no constant font...

Dear Ivan, thanks a lot, that is helpful. Still, I feel that default partial matching cripples the functionality of data.frame for larger tables. Thanks again and best regards Hilmar On 12.12.23 13:55, Ivan Krylov wrote: > ? Mon...

Hilmar Berger · Jul 16, 2024 · r-devel

'==' operator: inconsistency in data.frame(...) == NULL
