Hello,

In my plot, I have increased the font size of the axis labels.  I adjusted
the graphical parameter "mai" so the ylab would fit when I plot to the
screen.  Problems occur when I try to create a postscript file.  When I
run the postscript() command, I get the following "Warning in axes: No
room for ylab".

I tried to fiddle around with ps.options but to no avail.  Below is a copy
of my code.  Any suggestions welcome.  I'll summarize to the list.

(I am using Version 3.4 Release 1 for HP 9000 Series, HP-UX 9.0.5 : 1996
and printing to an HP LaserJet 4000 N.)

par(mai=c(0.714,0.75,0.574,0.294))  #2nd value was increased from 0.714.
postscript("mean.ps", width=8, height=5.5, horizontal=T)
     plot(x.range, y.range, xlab="Time in Weeks", ylab="Mean", type="n",
cex=1.4)
     points(tyme, mean.data, cex=1.7)
     lines(0:max(tyme), ms.mean)
dev.off()
