I have long axis labels (8units) on the x axis and 2 unit number labels on the y axis. I need to move the x axis title without moving the y axis title. I have used mgp=c(title, label and line), but mgp moves both the x and y titles. The following puts the y axis title way way out to the left. Anyone know how to move just the x axis. X11() conif<-c("Control", "Switched Wires", "Salt", "Conductive Board", "Needle Size", "Needle Depth") par(family="serif", cex=1.2) par(mfrow=c(1,2),lab=c(length(conif),4,4),mar=c(16.1,10.1,4.1,2.1), mgp=c(10,1,0)) boxplotR<-boxplot(R ~ Trt, xlab="Configuration",ylab="Resistance (Ohms)", xaxt='n', cex.axis=1.6,cex.lab=1.6) axis(side=1, at=c(1,2,3,4,5,6), labels=conif, las=2, cex.axis=1.4) --
