I am using the mgcv package to develop vis.gam plots and having trouble figuring out how to relabel the z-axis (image attached). It is currently labeled as "linear predictor," but I would like to change it to a different
name.  Currently I am using this code:
vis.gam(model1,theta=320,ticktype="detailed",color="gray",nCol=12,
zlab="BCS")

However, when run R states:
Error in persp.default(m1, m2, z, col = col, zlim = c(min.z, max.z), xlab =
view[1],  :
 formal argument "zlab" matched by multiple actual arguments


`vis.gam` creates that name and it gets pasted into a string that result in a collision with your supplied argument at the point where they a both passed to `persp`. You will need to hack that code to circumvent, or extract the relevant vectors from the gam fit an dbuild a plot on your own.

The code to replace would be

 if (type == "link")
        zlab <- paste("linear predictor")

Or perhaps intercept the handling of "stub"'s construction at the end:

            stub <- paste(ifelse("xlab" %in% dnm, "", ",xlab=view[1]"),
                ifelse("ylab" %in% dnm, "", ",ylab=view[2]"),
                ifelse("main" %in% dnm, "", ",zlab=zlab"), ",...)",
                sep = "")
            if (color == "bw") {
                op <- par(bg = "white")
txt <- paste("persp(m1,m2,z,col=\"white \",zlim=c(min.z,max.z) ",
                  stub, sep = "")
                eval(parse(text = txt))
                par(op)
            }
            else {
txt <- paste("persp(m1,m2,z,col=col,zlim=c(min.z,max.z)",
                  stub, sep = "")
                eval(parse(text = txt))

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!
