Italicizing labels using ordipointlabel function in vegan package

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to produce italicized labels using the ordipointlabel() function from the vegan package in R. My points represent species so I'd like the scientific names to be in italics. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Example code:

ordipointlabel(sp.mds, display="species", col = "black", pch=25, cex=1)

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

Add "font=3" to plot code.

ordipointlabel(sp.mds, display="species", col = "black", pch=25, cex=1, font=3)
