In this particular case 'An Introduction to R' has a comprehensive
description of graphical parameters with figures (as do all good books on
S/R e.g. MASS4 - since it has the same first author).

Either of these two gives you the answer
help.search("graphical parameters")
RSiteSearch("graphical parameters margin")
more specifically, read ?par and in particular, the entry for parameter
'mar' and it's relatives.
You might also need to add the axis label separately from the figure:
opar <- par(mar = c(5,7,4,2) +0.1)
plot(1:10, ann = FALSE) # or plot(1:10, ylab = "")
mtext("label", side = 2, line = 6)
par(opar)
1) opar <- par(mar = c(5,7,4,2) +0.1) creates 7.1 lines on the left of
the plot and saves defaults
2) mtext("label", side = 2, line = 6) displays the axis label on line 6
to push it away from the plot axis. Repeat for other sides...
3) par(opar) resets to the defaults.

Thanks Gavin,
I frequently reach the help page or any other document concerning the
doubt, but at least for me it is by no means easy to correctly interpret
their contents without the help of more experienced people. I do hope I
will catch up ASAP!
