How do I write bold face in the legend - the function does not accept font=2 as argument? How do I plot a legend box with a background color, but not a border? Or, better: How do I specify the color of the legend-box-borderline? Okay, I abuse the legend, but have a look at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:EurUsd.png if you want... Any help/feedback appreciated! Thomas

If you just want a label as in your example, it might be easier to use: boxed.labels(strptime("01/02/02","%d/%m/%y"),1.5, "Beeblebrox",bg="lightblue",border=FALSE,col="white") Jim

In the new code on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:EurUsd.png I included the following: #library("plotrix") #boxed.labels(x=10800,y=1.5,labels="Beeblebrox",bg="steelblue",border=FALSE,col="white",font=2,cex=3,adj=0) which gives a much too smal box. Perhaps the boxsize is not adjusted if the "cex" argument is used for the text? Have a nice weekend, Thomas
