I'm trying to use mtext to create a main title over multiple plots. Below is
a simple self-contained example and my sessionInfo (I should note I've also
tried this with R-2.8.1 with the same results). When I execute the code
chunk below, I get the plots, but no title. I've tried this using the
Try playing around with the oma setting in par() -- it sets the outer
margins, which by default are zero.
The following shows the mtext label for me, using the windows device:
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
par(oma)

par(oma=c(0,0,2,0))

Thanks for your nice example
Hey Mark,
The text is actually there -- I can just see the bottom of the 'y' and
the 'p' in my plotting window. You can move the text down (into the
plot) with the argument line. E.g.:
mtext(text = my test plots, side = 3, outer = TRUE, line=-2)
Hope that helps...
