Look at the help page for "par" for explanations of "cex" and "lty".
The use of 'mp' is as a variable, as in
> mp <- barplot(....)
The next paragraph refers to this variable.

The man page for barplot (?barplot) is confusing...
<quote> cex.axis: expansion factor for numeric axis labels. cex.names: expansion factor for axis names (bar labels). </quote>
What is an 'expansion factor', and what does it do in this context?
<quote> axis.lty: the graphics parameter 'lty' applied to the axis and tick marks of the categorical (default horizontal) axis. Note that by default the axis is suppressed. </quote>
This makes no sense unless you know what it does already (which I don't). So
this is more of a programmers cleft note in a 'common language' than a function
documentation page.
<quote> say 'mp', giving the coordinates of _all_ the bar midpoints drawn, </quote>
Say what?
