Hi Duncan, Thanks for your reply.
It is my understanding the whole problem arises from using 'relation = free'. It looks like xlab.top ignores this and positions the labels as if 'relation = same'. My example is actually a simplified version of a much more complicated plot. It creates a 12 by 5 grid of individual panels with measurements from different stations assembled in the 5 columns and different parameters in the 12 rows. There are 110 stations, and with 5 stations per page a total of 22 pages is created... xlab.top would give me the required flexibility to dynamically add row titles, i.e., I use a variable in the label argument of xlab.top to place the different station specs as row titles. grid.text may not work because I don't want to have titles in the rows 2 to 12.
