r - Adjust plot title (main) position

Question

I have been unable to find a way to adjust the (vertical) distance between plot and main title in R using par. In this example:

plot(1, 1, main = "Title")

I can adjust the position of the axis titles using:

par(mgp = c(2.5, 1, 0))

But I see no way to similarly adjust the main title. I am aware that more manual control is possible using title or mtext, but I assume that there is a way setting the title distance using par as well, which would be more elegant for my purposes.

Answer 1

We can use title() function with negative line value to bring down the title.

See this example:

plot(1, 1)
title("Title", line = -2)
