R help - Jan 2008 - Labeling different kinds of dots

I have one graph with two linear plots, one where the points are marked with
a triangle and the others marked with a dot. How do I label them in a legend
for example, comparable to what you automatically get in Excel (sorry for
the comparison people), so you know which type of point corresponds to which
function?

Dear Svempa,

See ?legend.

In this case, you could have discovered the legend function via
apropos("legend") or help.search("legend").

I hope this helps,
 John
