title: Avoid overlapping axis labels in R
body: <p>I want to plot data in a graph with larger font-size for the lables.</p>
  
  <pre><code>x = c(0:10)
  y = sin(x) + 10
  
  plot (
      x, y, type="o",
      xlab = "X values",
      ylab = "Y values",
      cex.axis = "2",
      cex.lab = "2",
      las = 1
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Unfortunately the numbers on the y-axis overlap the label for the y-axis. I tried to use mar, but that did not work (By the way, how can I find out which graphic parameters can be directly used in the plot command and which have to be set with the par()-method? ).</p>
  
  <p>How can I avoid that labels overlap?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help.</p>
