R help - Nov 2005 - Legend

I use the following to plot two graphs over each other and then insert a 
legend, but the two items in the legend both come up the same colour

x = seq(0,30,0.01)
plot(ecdf(complete), do.point=FALSE, main = 'Cummlative Plot of Monday IATs 
for Data and\n Fitted PDF over Entire 15 Weeks')
lines(x, pexp(x,0.415694806),col="red")
legend(x=5,y=0.2 , legend=c("Data Set","Fitted
PDF"),col=c("black","red"))

Many thanks

Hi, Mark,

You want to use "text.col" in legend instead of "col":

set.seed(1)
z <- rexp(30, 0.415694806)
x <- seq(0, 30, 0.1)
plot(ecdf(z), do.point = FALSE)
lines(x, pexp(x, 0.415694806), col="red")
legend(x = 5, y = 0.2, legend = c("Data Set", "Fitted PDF"),
        text.col = c("black", "red"))
