This is not correct. You can, as Dimitris has already shown. See ?par (sub mgp). The difficulty arises if you want only one set of axes changed, which is not what was requested. ## Example using your "example" par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) x <- 1:10 y <- rnorm(10) plot(x,y, axes=F) box() at <- pretty(x) min <- par("usr")[1] max <- par("usr")[2] at <- at[ at >= min & at <= max] # pretty extends the range axis(1, at=at, labels=FALSE) mtext(at, side=1, at=at, line=3) plot(x, y, mgp = c(3, 3, 0)) Regards, Mark.
