|-----------------------|

[R] Add notes to a graph

Thank you all, ?sub did the trick. One more question, Is it possible to
orientate the "sub title" independently from the
  "main title".

This is what I would like to do, add a title, label the axes, and add a small
note to the bottom left of the plot area.

|-----------------------|
| 	  Title 	|
| 	--------|
| 	| my 	| 	|
| 	| graph | 	|
| 	| 	| 	|
| 	| ______| 	|
|			|	
|			|
|note: source		|
|-----------------------|

The example in the help file shows how I can add the title, sub, as well as
tweak the size and color.
plot(1, col.axis = "sky blue", col.lab = "thistle")
	title("Main Title", sub = "sub title",
	cex.main = 2,   font.main= 4, col.main= "blue",
	cex.sub = 0.75, font.sub = 3, col.sub = "red")

If I add adj = 0, I get what I want, however, both the title and the note (main
and sub rspv) both get the same
orientation. Any ideas on how one can go about this (adj.sub does not  work)

[R] Add notes to a graph

Just use two title()s:

plot(1)
title("Main Title", cex.main=2)
title(sub = "sub title", cex.sub = 0.75, adj = 0)

[R] Add notes to a graph

Many thanks Peter, had actually tried that but was hoping there was something
that could save me one extra line of code :-).

Cheers

Closer to what Ronnie needs is:

plot(1:10, 1:10, main = "Title")
mtext("Note: source",side=1,line=4,adj=0)

The line number may need adjustment.

Best wishes

John
