Hi Xin, Or, just try adding "oma" and "mtext" commands:
?par ?mtext # Code par(mfcol=c(2,2)) par(oma=c(2,2,0,0)) plot(x <- sort(rnorm(7)), type = "s", main = "", ylab="", xlab="") plot(x <- sort(rnorm(27)), type = "s", main = "", ylab="", xlab="") plot(x <- sort(rnorm(47)), type = "s", main = "", ylab="", xlab="") plot(x <- sort(rnorm(67)), type = "s", main = "", ylab="", xlab="") mtext("One x-label", side = 1, outer=TRUE) mtext("One y-label", side = 2, outer=TRUE) ~Gurmeet On Fri, May 14, 2010 at 4:14 AM, Jim Lemon <j...@bitwrit.com.au> wrote: > On 05/14/2010 02:04 AM, Xin Ge wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> Can anyone please help me with getting a single x and y-axis label while >> plotting muliple plots.
