Hello,  
what is the syntax for increasing the axis label size in PyPlot? If I have some like this:

```julia
using PyPlot
clf()
    x = 1:10
    y = broadcast(^, 2, x)
    p = plot(x, y,
    linestyle = "-", color = "red", linewidth=2)

```

how do I tell Julia to increase the axis size?  
Thank you

I have found it: it goes into the axis specification: `xlabel("LABEL", fontsize=<value>)`. Case closed
