Hi,

I have created a plot using filled.contour() and have the problem that
one of the axis titles and an axis label are overlapping. I have tried
changing par()$mgp (with, e.g. par(mgp=c(4,1,0)) ), but this just
makes the title go off the screen. I can't work out how to make the
plot take up less space in the window, so I can hopefully change mgp
and sort the problem.

To answer:

Is changing mgp the only way to position axis titles/labels?

No. They are plotted by title(), and its help page indicates the argument 'line'. (Use R 2.7.2 RC or R-devel to get a fuller description.)

Increase the margins as well, default is:
 par("mar"=c(5,4,4,1)+.1)

You will need to do that in any case.
