mgp[2] specifies the axis labels' margin line relative to that of the axis line
(mgp[3]). The `par' help does not document this behaviour.
The following code demonstrates my observation:
plot.new();
par(mgp = c(3, 2, 1));
box();
title(xlab = "x");
axis(1);
Based on the R documentation, combined with S-PLUS' behaviour, I would expect R
to plot the axis labels and title at lines 2 and 3, respectively. However, it
plots both at line 3.
The relevant section of the `par' documentation states:
'mgp' The margin line (in 'mex' units) for the axis title, axis
labels and axis line. The default is 'c(3, 1, 0)'.
Thank-you for your time and considering this bug report.
