Hi there,
I'm trying to get some text in the outer margins of my plots and am
having trouble - the margin text is overlapping my plots, even though
the outer margin I'm trying to put it in is very big.
I've simplified my problem down to this:
-------------------------
X11(width=7.5,height=10)
par(mfrow=c(6,1),oma=c(20,0,20,0), mar=c(0,3.1,1,2.1))
for (i in 1:6) {
plot(cars[,"speed"],cars[,"dist"])
}
mtext("Position (Mb)", outer=TRUE, side=1)
mtext("Position (Mb)", outer=TRUE, side=3)
-------------------------
It's an ugly and meaningless set of plots, but you can see my
problem: the two "Position" strings are right up against the plot,
the bottom one even overlapping the bottom plot. Does anyone know
how I can get the text to appear in the big white space of the outer
margin, rather than right up against the plot?
thanks in advance,
Janet Young
PS I'm using R 2.7.1 Patched (2008-07-01 r46019) on an i686 linux
machine. I have the same problem if I do this on Mac OS X R 2.7.1
(2008-06-23).
