Hi, I have done a search on this in vain. How can I add a note to the foot of a graph example below

|-----------------------|
|	 Title		|
|	 --------	|
|	|  my	|	|
|	| graph	|	|
|	|	|	|
|	| ______|	|
|note: source 		|
|-----------------------|


Many thanks

Ronnie

Thank you all, ?sub did the trick. One more question, Is it possible to orientate the "sub title" independently from the 
  "main title".

This is what I would like to do, add a title, label the axes, and add a small note to the bottom left of the plot area.

|-----------------------|
| 	  Title 	|
| 	--------|
| 	| my 	| 	|
| 	| graph | 	|
| 	| 	| 	|
| 	| ______| 	|
|			|	
|			|
|note: source		|
|-----------------------|

The example in the help file shows how I can add the title, sub, as well as tweak the size and color.
plot(1, col.axis = "sky blue", col.lab = "thistle")
	title("Main Title", sub = "sub title",
	cex.main = 2,   font.main= 4, col.main= "blue",
	cex.sub = 0.75, font.sub = 3, col.sub = "red")

If I add adj = 0, I get what I want, however, both the title and the note (main and sub rspv) both get the same 
orientation. Any ideas on how one can go about this (adj.sub does not  work)

Just use two title()s:

plot(1)
title("Main Title", cex.main=2)
title(sub = "sub title", cex.sub = 0.75, adj = 0)

Many thanks Peter, had actually tried that but was hoping there was something that could save me one extra line of code :-).

Cheers

Can you use this?:

plot(1:10, 1:10, main = "Maintitle", sub = "subtitle") mtext("Another
possibillity", side=4)

Closer to what Ronnie needs is:

plot(1:10, 1:10, main = "Title")
mtext("Note: source",side=1,line=4,adj=0)

The line number may need adjustment.

Best wishes

John
