Hi, I am creating a plot with multiple subplots on it (by using) and I would like to be able to label these "a)", "b)" etc. in the top left corner. I have been trying to use text to accomplish this, but it only seems to place a label within the plotting area not outside where the title axis is. Any suggestions?

Hi Dan, you can use text with the additional argument "xpd=TRUE" to put text outside the main plotting area.

Hi, Have you tried mtext() ? It can draw at the plots margins. Also legend()could be useful. Additionally perhaps you want to adjust your margin and labels' areas by defining mar= oma= mgp= . For those check ?par. Finally I found useful to define the dimensions of the graphics devise- windows() or X11()- so that I can control better the exact coordinates of the added text/legend. Anyhow, to my experience, you need to devote some time playing with the different values until you get the result you want.
