\title{Change axis labels and legend titles}
\author{Hadley Wickham <h.wickham@gmail.com>}

\description{
This is a convenience function that saves some typing when modifying the axis labels or legend titles
}
\usage{labs(...)}
\arguments{
\item{...}{a list of new names in the form aesthetic = "new name"}
}



\examples{p <- qplot(mpg, wt, data = mtcars)
p + labs(x = "New x label")
p + xlab("New x label")
p + ylab("New y label")

# This should work indepdendently of other functions that modify the 
# the scale names
p + ylab("New y label") + ylim(2, 4)
p + ylim(2, 4) + ylab("New y label")

# The labs function also modifies legend labels
p <- qplot(mpg, wt, data = mtcars, colour = cyl)
p + labs(colour = "Cylinders")

# Can also pass in a list, if that is more convenient
p + labs(list(x = "X", y = "Y")) }
