A couple of things to try: Some adjustment can be made by adding whitespace to your label, e.g.:
> plot(1:10, xlab='test') > plot(1:10, xlab='test\n') > plot(1:10, xlab='test \n') You can set the label to be blank originally (xlab=''), then add it afterwards using title, mtext, or text; but with filled.contour the coordinates after the plot are not the same as those when the plot was created, so you may need to use grconvertX, grconvertY, or updateusr (last from the TeachingDemos package) to get the coordinates/positioning right.
