R help - Sep 2008 - Text

Hello,
I would like to place some text that should appear in the same position 
of the graphic device, preferably outside the plotting area, regardless 
the x and y axes limits. How can I do this?
Best,

Dani

I think you can use title() with an adj= argument.

Otherwise, try mtext(), using par("usr") and par("pin") to
calculate the
at= argument.

In recent versions of R there are the functions grconvertX and grconvertY that
will convert between the different coordiate systems.  You can use them to
convert from the device or ndc systems to user coordinates, then place the text
using the text function.

Hope this helps,
