Here is what I used in the end:
par(xpd=T)
text(-0.15*(par("usr")[2]-par("usr")[1]),par("usr")[4]+0.14*(par("usr")[4]-par("usr")[3]),labels[i],cex=1.5)
par(xpd=F)
Ans that worked a treat.
Thanks
Dan

Re: [R] Positioning text in top left corner of plot
Thanks. That works if it is only a single plot, but if there are
multiple plots (e.g. par(mfrow=c(2,2))) it confusingly puts the label in
the absolute top left always i.e. the top left of plot one.

Re: [R] Positioning text in top left corner of plot
This works fine for one plot, but if it is a multiple plot (mfrow=c(2,2)
say) then each individual label is placed in the same position i.e.
absolute top left on the canvas. I would like it top left of each
individual plot.
Thanks anyway. Got any idea how to fix this?

Simple question how can you position text in the top left hand

a plot? I am plotting multiple plots using par(mfrow=c(2,3)) and all I

but
each plot has a different scale on the axis and so this makes it

plot(1:10)

grid.text("What do we want? Text in the corner!\nWhere do we want it?
Here!",
x=unit(2, "mm"), y=unit(1, "npc") - unit(2, "mm"),

Re: [R] Positioning text in top left corner of plot
Thanks for the replies, but I still cannot get what I want. I do not
want the label inside the plot area, but in the top left of the paper, I
suppose in the margins. When I try to use text to do this, it does not
seem to plot it outside the plot area. I have also tried to use mtext,
but that does not really cut it, as I cannot get the label in the
correct position. Ideally, it would be best if I could use legend but
have it outside the plot area.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Re: [R] Positioning text in top left corner of plot
You can call par('usr') to find the current coordinates, then use the
text function (the pos and offset arguments may be helpful as well)
The cnvrt.coords function from the TeachingDemos package may also be of
help for finding coordinates for the text function.
Hope this helps,
