[R] controlling plot spacing?

[Bill Simpson]

Thanks everyone par(mgp) was what I needed.

BTW in my particular case using layout() I am now doing
par(mar=c(3,3,.2,.2))
par(mgp=c(3,.5,0))

I find that if I try 
par(mgp=c(2.5,.5,0))
          ^^^
or any number <3 I get what looks like random small fragments of text
superimposed on the axis label. Looks like a photocopy taken with a
machine that has specks of dirt in it.
