Using Greg's idea about the capture.output() function, I got this example to work in R for Windows.
x <- 1:20 y <- rnorm(20) fit <- lm(y ~ x) smry <- capture.output(summary(fit)) smry2 <- paste(smry, collapse="\n") par(oma=c(10, 0, 0, 0)) plot(x, y) mtext(side=1, outer=TRUE, text=smry2, cex=0.75, line=9, adj=0, family="mono") Jean `·.,, ><(((º> `·.,, ><(((º> `·.,, ><(((º> Jean V.
