Dear all, another questions related to zoo plotting. I would like to do as in the subject. Here a reproducible code: library(zoo) par(mfrow=c(2,1) plot(zoo(seq(1:10),as.Date(seq(1:10),origin=1970-01-01)),xlab=,ylab=,main=Value,las=1) mtext(EUR billions,adj=0,cex=0.7)

Regarding example 1: mtext has a line parameter that should help you example 2: using text(par(usr)[1],par(usr)[4],EUR billions,cex=0.7,adj=c(0,-1.5)) does not depend on the axis (values/range) beyond par('usr') With text(par(usr)[1], … you get something closer to your

Thanks, although I still have a couple of questions: 1. What is the line parameter? I could not find it in the manual... 2. How does exactly work the adj parameter when giving two different values? -- View this message in context:

Thanks, mtext with option 'line' does the trick. I could not see that option in my version of R, but it appeared when I installed it again. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Positioning-text-in-top-left-corner-of-plot-tp831723p4365088.html Sent from the R help
