Hi, if you use the plot.TukeyHSD() function with a main argument, that one is printed over the default title 'X% family-wise confidence level'. Try for example: Model <- aov(count~spray,data=InsectSprays) plot(TukeyHSD(Model),main='HHHHH',las=2) This doesn't happen with an xlab or ylab argument, as they give errors due to the fact they're specified inside the function already: function (x, ...) { for (i in seq_along(x)) { ... plot(c(xi[, "lwr"], xi[, "upr"]), rep.int(yvals, 2), type = "n", axes = FALSE, xlab = "", ylab = "", ...) ... } } The main title and the xlab are created with the title() function lower in the code. So to avoid a main title being specified twice, I propose to add main="" to the plot statement quoted above.
