[R] Fitting large titles in a plot

[Greg Snow]

Try inserting \n into the title where you would like it to start on a
new line, e.g.:

plot(A,main="This is my really long title\nand it's so long\nthat I can
see just about half of it.")

You may need to give yourself more room in the margin for multi-line
titles (see ?par and the mar entry) and using the title function (rather
than in the plot) will let you specify the position of the title (line
argument).

Hope this helps,
