[R] Plots: I've deleted axes, now to delete space

[Adele_Thompson at cargill.com]

Easy fix. Under ?par, I don't see where I can enter an overall title. Should I add a text command or something?

Look at the help for par, specifically the section on 'mar' to set the per plot margins smaller and the section on 'oma' to leave room for the overall title.
