axis label fontsize vs. tick label size [message #15901] Sat, 19 June 1999 00:00

I am making some simple xy scatterplots. I would like to make
the y-axis label bigger (ie larger fontsize), but I don't want
to change the size of the tick labels.

YCHARSIZE=xxx seems to change both in my experiments. Is that
correct?

One possibility would be to add the axis label separately using
XYOUTS or ANNOTATE, but in this case the text-box would have to
be rotated to make it look like a y-axis label. For this reason
it seems like a lot of work, though maybe it's not so bad as it
seems?

Another possibility would be to add another axis with zero line
weight but the correct size axis label? This seems like a kludge.

Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

- Andrew.
