R help - Dec 2006 - Distance between x-axis values and title

Dear All,

I looked at help(par), but could not figure out which setting controls the
distance between the x-axis values and the x-axis title. Any pointer would be
appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

mgp: looking at An Introduction to R may help you find your way around 
par().

 ?mpg probably
Is this what you want 

catb <- c( 1,2,3,4,5,6)
dogb <- c(2,4,6,8,10, 12)
plot(catb,dogb, mgp=c(3,1,0))
# vs
plot(catb,dogb, mgp=c(2,1,0))

Thanks to all who responded so quickly! Yes, I totally overlooked par(mpg).
Exactly what I was looking for.
