We can change the label for the second
variable,
propval100
, in a similar
manner, but we need to specify
axis(2)
. In this example, we label the
second variable ranging from 0 to 100
in increments of 20.

Let's label all these variables using the
same scale, from 0 to 100 in increments
of 20. As you can see, this involves
quite a bit of typing, applying the
xlabel()
and
ylabel()
for
axis(1)
,
axis(2)
,and
axis(3)
, which applies
this to the first, second, and third
variables. However, the next example
shows a more ecient way to do this.
