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

To summarize and explain visually how it works. Code construction is as follows:

par(mar = c(3,2,2,1))
barplot(...all parameters...)
title("Title text", adj = 0.5, line = 0)

explanation:

par(mar = c(low, left, top, right)) - margins of the graph area.

title("text" - title text
      adj  = from left (0) to right (1) with anything in between: 0.1, 0.2, etc...
      line = positive values move title text up, negative - down)

Try this   par adj   0  plot 1  1  main    Title     or equivalent   plot 1  1  main    Title   adj   0    adj   0 produces left-justified text  0 5  the default  centered text and 1 right-justified text  Any value in  0  1  is allowed    However  the issue is that this will also change the position of the label of the x-axis and y-axis

We can use title   function with negative line value to bring down the title    See this example   plot 1  1  title  Title   line   -2
