[R] Positioning text in top left corner of plot

[Daniel Brewer]

Thanks for the replies, but I still cannot get what I want.  I do not
want the label inside the plot area, but in the top left of the paper, I
suppose in the margins.  When I try to use text to do this, it does not
seem to plot it outside the plot area.  I have also tried to use mtext,
but that does not really cut it, as I cannot get the label in the
correct position.  Ideally, it would be best if I could use legend but
have it outside the plot area.

Any ideas?

Thanks
