Hi all.
I'm ploting a raster and I can't find the proper way to move the legend.
For example,
r = raster(system.file("external/test.grd",
package="raster"))plot(r)
How can I put the legend at the desired position?
Thank in advance,Phil

See ?legend . you can add a legend directly to an existing plot. An
example:
legend('topright',c('hot','cold'),lty=1,col=c('red','green'),bg='white')
Now if you're trying to place the legend outside the plot area (i.e. in some
other part of the window),
you'll need to invoke par(xpd=TRUE) . See the help at ?par .

It occurs to me that perhaps you're referring to the 'color bar' on the right of the plot. AFAIK you cannot get at that from the raster::plot method. However lattice::levelplot does allow you to manipulate or remove that colorbar. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/legend-position-tp4681489p4681497.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
It is not straightforward unless you want the legend in the
right or the bottom margins. To put the legend inside the plot
region it is simplest to use image() to plot the raster file and
then image.plot(legend.only=TRUE) to add the legend. In addition
to reading the help page for plot{raster}, you also need the
pages for image{raster} and image.plot{fields}. Here are two
simple examples.
image(r, col=rev(terrain.colors(255)))
plot(r, horizontal=TRUE, smallplot=c(.15, .5, .84, .86),
legend.only=TRUE)
image(r, col=rev(terrain.colors(255)))
plot(r, smallplot=c(.15, .17, .5, .85), legend.only=TRUE)
