Any thoughts on what that dirty hack might be or any leads on where to start? Perhaps a whole new plot region in the margin or something? Is that even possible? I'm having a difficult time imagining how I can do this.
The `text` function accepts the 'xpd' argument for `par`. ?par ?text(Similar but not exactly the same as R-FAQ "7.27 How can I create rotated axis labels?")
I'm not sure what sort of "dirt" Uwe was expecting, but I'm guessing he meant that you probably were not going to be getting exactly what you wanted with the first attempt and were going to need to adjust the locations "by hand" after digging around in the par documentation.

Here's some sample code: #plot with mtext example par(mgp = c(2,1,0), mfrow=c(2,2), las=1, mar=c(2,2,2,2), omi= c(0.5,0.2,0,0.2)) a<-1:10 b<-7:16 c<-21:30 plot(a~b, ylab="", xlab="", xaxt="n") axis(1, at=b, labels=FALSE, tick=TRUE) plot(c~b, ylab="", xlab="", xaxt="n", yaxt="n") axis(1, at=b, labels=FALSE, tick=TRUE) axis(4, at=c(22,24,26,28,30), labels=TRUE, tick=TRUE) plot(a~b, ylab="") plot(c~b, ylab="", yaxt="n") axis(4, at=c(22,24,26,28,30), labels=TRUE, tick=TRUE) mtext(side=1, "independent", outer=TRUE, line=1, padj=1) mtext(side=2, "dependent A", las=0, outer=TRUE, line=0.25) mtext(side=4, "dependent B", las=0, outer=TRUE, line=0.25) I have seen an example in help where i can use text and (srt) to manipulate this with a single panel plot, but not for a multi-panel example. Any help would be greatly appreciated.You cannot do that with mtext, you rather need a dirty hack with text(), I believe.Best, Uwe LiggesCheers, Mike ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
