Hi there,
in the following code, I'd like to enlarge the filled box but not the
legend text.
plot.new()
legend("topleft", "text", fill = "gray") # filled
box is too small
legend("top", "text", fill = "gray", cex = 2) #
filled box is ok but
text is too large
# I can use point to mimic filled box, but can not fill it with pattern
legend("left", "text", pch = 22, pt.bg = "gray",
pt.cex =3)
I'd like to get filled box enlarged but with text not to be changed. Is
it possible?
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Jinsong
Did you use the 'box.lwd' argument to set the width of the box? If so, why does this not work for you? If not, set it to a bigger value.

I'd propose:
plot.new()
ltext <- "text"
lobj <- legend("bottom", "", text.width=strwidth(ltext),
fill = "gray",
cex = 2)
text(lobj$text, ltext)
