Hi, I am working on bar plot and legend overlap plot. I attempted all position like topright, bottomright, topleft and bottomleft still same pblm is there. par(mar=c(5,22.5,2,2)) barplot(t(data[,2:3]) , beside=TRUE, col=c(rgb(.537, .769, .933),rgb(.059, .412, .659)), width = 1, horiz=TRUE,cex.names=.9, border ="white",las=1, cex.axis= 1, cex.lab=1.2,axes = FALSE) legend("topright", c("legend1","legend2"), cex=1.5, bty="n", fill c(rgb(.059, .412, .659),rgb(.537, .769, .933))); http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4638995/Screenshot.png How can i avoid overlapping of bars and legend?

I would suggest the following: 1. Change the margins of the third axis from 5.2 to say 2.5. 2. Reduce the cex in the legend from 1.5 to say 0.75 I think this should work for you. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/How-to-adjust-legend-in-a-plot-tp4638995p4638996.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
I cannot reduce bar width. It is ok for me. Is there any way to merge two plots one with only legend and other with barplot?

Just move the legend. Change topright to x = ? y = ? whatever to find an empty place on the plot.
