[BioC] Labelling subplots a), b) etc.

[r.athanasiadou]

Hi,
Have you tried mtext() ? It can draw at the plots margins. Also
legend()could be useful. Additionally perhaps you want to adjust your margin
and labels' areas by defining mar= oma= mgp= . For those check ?par. Finally
I found useful to define the dimensions of the graphics devise- windows() or
X11()- so that I can control better the exact coordinates of the added
text/legend.

Anyhow, to my experience, you need to devote some time playing with the
different values until you get the result you want.

Best wishes

Hi,

I am creating a plot with multiple subplots on it (by using) and I would
like to be able to label these "a)", "b)" etc. in the top left corner.
I have been trying to use text to accomplish this, but it only seems to
place a label within the plotting area not outside where the title axis is.

Any suggestions?

Dan
