This works fine for one plot, but if it is a multiple plot (mfrow=c(2,2) say) then each individual label is placed in the same position i.e. absolute top left on the canvas. I would like it top left of each individual plot.
Thanks anyway. Got any idea how to fix this? Dan Paul Murrell wrote: > Hi > > > Daniel Brewer wrote: >> Thanks for the replies, but I still cannot get what I want.
