[R] tsdiag() titles

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Did you notice that tsdiag() plots about three plots and gives each a 
title?

You can add a title to the array of plots using title(outer=TRUE), 
surprisingly enough, but you will need to adjust the outer margins to make 
room for it.  Something like

par(oma=c(0,0,2,0))
fit <- arima(lh, c(1,0,0))
tsdiag(fit)
title("Some title or another", outer = TRUE)
