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)
