[R] Publication-ready figures in R?

It is; use par("usr") to get the corners and text() to place labels inside the plot region, as in
text(par("usr")[1], par("usr")[4], "a)", cex=1.5, adj=c(-0.2,1.2))

or something like
mtext("a)", outer=T, line=-1.5, cex=1.5, adj=0.02)
for labels in a corner of the device region.

But it Would Be Nice If xy.coords understood "topleft" etc. so that text() could pass that through. One for the wish list one day, perhaps, though text() would also have to use adj intelligently by default to make life simple when it saw character x.
