There are lots of par options already and lots more could be added.
However, it would become overwhelmingly huge. I think it's best to
leave it as it is.

Whenever I make a publication graphic, I nearly always use mtext to
get the label exactly appropriate (along with ylab = ). That works
very well IMHO.

Re: [R] shifting down ylab in a plot
I am trying to shift down the ylab of my plot but can't find how to do it.
I tried to tune mar but it enable more room for the labels to be displayed
but it does not move to ylab as I would like.
Is there a way with par to shift down my ylab ??
There may be a simpler/more elegant way to do it, but this does what
you asked for:
# plot data omitting the ylab
plot(1:10,1:10, ylab='')
# add the ylab myself using flushleft (adj=0.0)
mtext('foo', side=2, line=3, adj=0.0)
