Question

When I plot two graphs after creating a new x11() device and want to set a overall title it is not displayed well. The top part of the title string is behind the window top bar. Is there a way to fix this? I couldn’t find anything in ?x11 or in the x11 client preferences that helped.

This script:

x11()
x <- rnorm(1000, 0, 1)
hist(x)
title('Title', outer = TRUE)

Looks like that:

Answer 1

R does not by default allocate any space to the outer margins; see par("oma"). Try

par(oma=c(0,0,2,0))

(See ?par and search for "outer" for more information.)
