how to change xlab strings size

[Mary Jo Nath]

I don't think there is any direct control for the "draw xlab" (or "draw ylab" or "draw title") commands.

You can get a slightly smaller font by using
"draw xlab \string". The "\" indicates newline, and will cause Grads to draw the label with
a slightly smaller font and a little farther from the axis.

The other alternative which will give you complete control over the appearance of a
label would be to use "draw string <x position> <y position> <string>" along with the
"set string" and "set strsiz" commands.  This isn't as simple as "draw xlab", but it does
give you control over size, thickness, and placement of the string.
