Right- I think the issue is getting a text() command (which does accept srt) to work outside the plot region, and in the margin where I need it to appear. This is easy to "hack" in a single plot, but not so clear how to do it in a multi-panel environment with an outer margin.

I suspect going to grid() is where I'm going to have to go (after reading the relevant chapters in Paul Murrell's book....)

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

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.
