Tom, The sub argument will always put text at the bottom -- this is all plotting in R not just image.plot If you want two lines in the title just build in a new line:
z<- outer( 1:15, 1:10,"+") image.plot( z, main="the title \n the subtitle") Best, Doug ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Doug Nychka, Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences National Center for Atmospheric Research Boulder, CO Email: nychka "AT" ucar "DOT" edu Web: www.image.ucar.edu/~nychka Voice: 303-497-1711 FAX: 303-497-1298 Business Cell: 303-725-3199 On May 1, 2012, at 10:25 AM, Tom Roche wrote: > > summary: how to make image.plot print a subtitle between the title and > the image, rather than under the image? > > details: > > I've got a project > > https://github.com/TomRoche/ioapi-hack-R > > that illustrates the use of (et al) the R packages {ncdf4, fields, M3} > for processing and visualizing IOAPI data.
