Dear all,
Is there a straightforward way to create a legend box that has both filled
boxes and lines?
So far I have built around this problem by creating two legends (with bty
"n") and manually drawing a box around both (but this is cumbersome,
because I have to check upon the y coordinates of the legends every time).
If I do something like > legend( ...,c("X1","X2",
"mean"), fill = c("red",
"blue", 0), lty = (0,0,2)) < , I cannot get rid of the unfilled box
or
change the color of the fill box border (from its default color
"black"),
and I end up with two filled boxes and an empty, black-lined box plus the
line as a legend for the third argument "mean". This trick therefore
only
works if I define "black" as the bg color for the complete legend box
(because it masks the empty box from the fill argument). So, if there is a
command to modify the color of the fill box border line (not the legend box
border line), this would help me, too (still not ideal, though...).
Thanks,
Florian

Did you try legend(......, lty=..., fill=..., merge = TRUE) ? In an example I just tried, this allowed to give filled boxes *and* lines. Please give a reproducible example of what you did -- maybe by modifying one of the many example(legend) examples.

[R] Antwort: Re: legend with filled boxes AND lines
Hi Martin,
I know about the merge command, but I want a line without the box in the
legend. Ideally I would need some argument that tells the fill subcommand
not only to suppress the box color (see example below), but also to
suppress the frame of the fill box. Alternatively if someone could tell me
how to modify the color of the frame, this would help, too, because I could
simply set it to the bg command.
x1 <- rnorm(100)
x2 <- rnorm(100, 2)
hist(x1, main = "", col = "orange",ylab =
"density", xlab = "x", freq = F,
density = 55,
xlim = c(-2, 5), ylim = c(0, 0.5))
par(new = T)
hist(x2, main = "", col = "green", ylab = "", xlab
= "",axes = F,
xlim = c(-2, 5), ylim = c(0, 0.5), density = 45, freq = F)
abline(v = mean(x1), col = "orange", lty = 2, lwd = 2.5)
abline(v = mean(x2), col = "green", lty = 2, lwd = 2.5)
legend(3, 0.45, legend = c("x1", "x2", "mean(x1)",
"mean(x2)"),
col = c("orange", "green"),
fill=c("orange","green", 0, 0),
lty = c(0, 0, 2, 2), merge = T)
Thank you,
Florian Koller
