Try the line= argument on title()

opar <- par(oma = 4 * c(1, 1, 1, 1), no.readonly = TRUE)
par(mfrow = 1:2)
plot(1:3, 9:7)
plot(1:3, 7:9)
for(i in 1:3) title(main = i, line = i, outer = TRUE)
par(opar)
I was not sure what Carol was hoping for. I assumed she was hoping for the full page analog of what subtitle would do with an individual plot, i.e. that the subtitle would be below the plots and centered. If she were hoping for just another line below the main title, then your strategy or using "\n" within the string would be effective.
I think that she may need to use mtext() in order to get a "true" sub- title of the first sort.

Thanks Gary. No I want one subtitle for all plots below the main title. subtitle should work but if doesn't at the worst case I could do as follows: 

title(main = "Main title\nSub title",outer = TRUE, cex.main=1.5,...)

You are right David/Carol. It seems outer=T
does not work for "Sub title". I'm not sure
what Carol is looking for, but in case you need separate sub
titles for each graph, then you may want to use more than
one title statement. Like:


par(oma=c(2,2,2,2))par(mfrow =
c(1,2))plot(c(1,2,3),
c(9,8,7))title(sub ="sub title 1",
cex.sub = 0.75)plot(c(1,2,3),
c(9,8,7))title(sub ="sub title 2",
cex.sub = 0.75)

title(main = "Main title",
cex.main=1.5, outer = TRUE)
Not sure about how to do it for a single
"sub title" for whole graph.
Anyone?~Gary

Hi Carol,



Try this




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

par(mfrow = c(1,2))

plot(c(1,2,3), c(9,8,7))

plot(c(1,2,3), c(9,8,7))

title(main = "Main title", sub ="Sub
title",outer = TRUE, cex.main=1.5,


cex.sub = 1.5)




I'm curious about what you are seeing with that
sequence. On a Mac running R 2.10.0 I am not seeing the
subtitle.

par(oma=c(2,2,2,2)) -- can be used to define outline of the
plot. Arguments

here are for "bottom", "left",
"top", "right"; which ofcourse can be
changed

according to need. HTH

Hi,

I got problem in using title function to create a title for
multiple plots

presented together by par. As can be seen in the attached
file, the title is

displayed truncated and the subtitle doesn't get
displayed. Here is the

code:



par(mfrow = c(1,2))

plot(c(1,2,3), c(9,8,7))

plot(c(1,2,3), c(9,8,7))

title(main = "Main title", sub ="Sub
title",outer = TRUE, cex.main=1.5,

cex.sub = 1.5)
