Plotting legend outside of multiple panels
Hello,
I have used layout() to produce to 2 plots on a page, leaving a plotting space above them. I would like "Legend", which will actually be a real legend, to be centered above the two graphs. Right now I am only able to position "Legend" above the second graph that I create... obviously I am stuck in its margin space.
Is there a way to draw the legend in the empty

Another solution I've used is to set up an additional layout space and
put the legend in there with no graph. You print a blank dummy graph
and then add the legend to the "blank" layout panel like so:
if (floatLegend) {
# We want to float the legend independently
# so we have to add it here as the only visible component of a
# dummy graph.
legText <- yourLegendNames
# create a blank graph -- automatically scales -1 to +1 on both axes
op <- par(mar=plotMargins)...
