[R] Space between axis label and tick labels

[Kare Edvardsen]

I'm writing an publication in two column format and need to shrink some 
plots. After increasing the axis labels it does not look nice at all. 
The y-axis label and tick labels almost touch each other and the x-axis 
tick labels expand into the plot instead of away from it. Is there a 
better way than "cex" to control the:

1) font size of axis and tick labels

2) font thickness

3) placement of both axis and yick labels


Cheers,

Kare
