Hi,

is there a way to place text at the upper left corner (or another corner) of the plot?

I want to place it really at the upper left corner of the whole plot (the file I get),
not at the upper left corner of the plot-region.



I tried text() and mtext(), and corner.label() of the plotrix package but it didn't work out.

Hi batholdy,
I suppose we could rewrite corner.label like this:

corner.label<-function(label=NULL,x=-1,y=1,xoffset=NA,yoffset=NA,
space=c("plot","figure"),...) {

if(is.na(xoffset)) xoffset<-strwidth("m")/2
if(is.na(yoffset)) yoffset<-strheight("m")/2
par.usr<-par("usr")
xpos<-par.usr[(3+x)/2]
ypos<-par.usr[(3+y)/2+2]
if(match(space[1],"figure",0)) {
 par.pin<-par("pin")
 xplotrange<-par.usr[2]-par.usr[1]
 yplotrange<-par.usr[4]-par.usr[3]
 par.mai<-par("mai")
 xmar<-xplotrange*par.mai[3+x]/par.pin[1]
 ymar<-yplotrange*par.mai[2+y]/par.pin[2]
 cat(xmar,ymar,"\n")
 xpos<-xpos+x*xmar
 ypos<-ypos+y*ymar
}
if(!is.null(label)) {
 if(match(space[1],"figure",0)) par(xpd=TRUE)
 text(xpos-x*xoffset,ypos-y*yoffset,label,adj=c((1+x)/2,(1+y)/2))
 if(match(space[1],"figure",0)) par(xpd=FALSE)
}
return(list(x=xpos,y=ypos))
}

The default behavior is to put the label just inside one corner of the plot. If you set "space" to "figure", the label will appear just inside one corner of the figure region. Owzat?
