Legend titles work in linear plots: curve(1/x, xlim = c(0, 1)) legend(x = 'topright', inset = 0.04, legend = '1/x', lty = 1, title = 'Legend Title') But when you change to a log plot on either dimension things get screwy: curve(1/x, xlim = c(0, 1), log = 'y...

Hi, I have a graph and I would like to write some values inside the legend that were saved in a variable. Please revise the code below in which I've wrote 2 different legends, but I am not happy with either of them. What I want is a legend with tile "Legend" and underneath a line with a name and a value like that: value = 2. #Code begin: # -----------------...

I'm using the image.plot() function (fields package), but I want to enlarge the characters of the legend (as they are too small to be read in a combined figure), but there is no way I can find a command to do this. I can enlarge the legend bar (with legend.witdh), axis character size (cex.axis) or the total legend size (legend.shrink), but not the character size of the legend characters itself (and o...

Dear R developers, I needed to align the title of legend for some of my plots. If there is interest to include this into base R, bellow are the examples and the relevent diffs. Regards, Gregor x <- 1:10 y1 <- 1.5 * x y2 <- 2.0 * x y <- cbind(y1, y2) source(file=url("http://gregor.gorjanc.googlepages.com/legend.R")) matplot(x, y,...

Dear R gurus, I am trying to plot a legend in the margins of a figure. The basic idea is to have two (or more) plots on the same figure, but then to have a common legend at the bottom of the plot. The approach that I have taken is to setup the figures, then do a "dummy" plot of the legend to determine the height of the legend box...

I'm trying to generate some plots for print publication and I'm having trouble getting them the way I want. I get a plot with a legend that overlaps the bars and looks bad. Also, I'm saving this as PDF file (whatever happened to the "png" function to save as PNG format, in r 1.4.1?) I've tried a number of things, which produce a number of questions. 1) it seems that the "legend" for a plot must be wit...

I'm sure this general sort of question has been asked many times before - I would _like_ automatic and sensible legend placement in barplots so data is not overwritten... but since there doesn't seem to be one, one of the following would be useful: One approach for this would be to place the legend to the right of the graph, and rotate it by 90 degrees. Is there a sensible way to do this? alternatively, i...

Hi all, I am have some difficulty with the legend function. I need to add a legend to describe the different line types in a plot. The legend box is small. It did not include sufficient length of each line type to help distinguish the differnt line types. Is there a way to fix this. Thank you Hannah [[alternati...

Does anybody know how in xyplot to put the legend title on one line with the legend? I can get the legend on one line with columns=... but the title is always on top. I tried a custom key with key=... and text=... but I can't put the title text in front of the plotting symbol. I am looking for the following layout of the legend, on one line:...

Hello! Does someone know how to produce L(y|mu) with plotmath? Some code with unsuccessfull results: plot(dnorm(x = seq(from = -4, to = 4, by = 0.1)), type = "l") ## Not what I want legend(legend = c(expression(L(y:mu))), x = "topright") ## Strange, is this a bug? legend(legend = c(expression(L(y|mu))), x = "top") ## Group produces an error legend(legend = c(expression(group(L(y, "|", mu)))), x = "topleft") ## Paste keeps commas in expressio...

I am creating a CDF plot function more user-friendly than any default r function. Depending upon the bimodality of the data (it is often bimodal), or any other strange data trends, the points can end up gathering in just about any corner of the plot. So, when I add a legend, whether I choose to add it in the bottom right, top left, or wherever, it will sometimes end up putting the legend right on the data itself. So, I tried to force the legend to certain data values (e.g., the largest in x & the smallest in y, to "really" get the bottom right), but the...

Is there a simple way to put a legend outside the plot area for a simple plot? I found... (at http://www.harding.edu/fmccown/R/) # Expand right side of clipping rect to make room for the legend *par(xpd=T, mar=par()$mar+c(0,0,0,4))* # Graph autos (transposing the matrix) using heat colors, # put 10% of the space between each bar, an...

Hi to all, I'm sorry for posting this question, I am sure I am missing something important but after reading the documentation I cannot find where the problem is. I want to add a legend to a figure. If I use a simple example drawn from the R Reference Manual such as, for instance: x <- seq(-pi, pi, len = 65) plot(x, sin(x), type="l", col = 2) legend(x = -3, y = .9, "legend text", pch = 1, xjust = 0.5) then everything works just fine. However, if I use ot...

i'd like to plot a legend in my diagram. The diagram will be included in a TikZ LaTeX document later. I tried the legend() function, but - it can not find a good place it self where the legend fits and playing around with coordinates and scaling consumes a lot time - standard settings for the text need adjustment (...

Hi, I'm trying to construct a legend which has four lines of text and associated symbols. The first two symbols need to be normal lines which vary only in colour. The second two symbols should have filled boxes. How do I suppress the fill boxes in the first two lines? J.

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 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, maybe I have misunderstood something but to me it seems like a minor error in the help for ?legend for the argument 'bg'. There it says: bg: the background color for the legend box. (Note that this is only used if 'bty = "n"'.) I think, however, that it should be changed to: bg: the background color for the legend box. (Note that this is...

Full_Name: Daniel Gasser Version: 1.8.1 OS: Win XP Submission from: (NULL) (130.60.20.92) The legend()-Function shows a different behaviour than it did in Version 1.6.1. It plots a black box left of the legend lines on each legend row. In 1.6.1 there was just the line in appropriate color for each row in the legend (i was using exactly the same legend statement and same plot function). My legend s...

Hello, Is it possible to change the text size of the title in a legend of a R plot? I tried to directly change the title.cex argument but it seems not to work. Trying : Horizo <- c(1,2,6,10,20) legtext <- paste(Horizo,sep="") legend("topleft", legend=legtext,col=col,text.col=col,lwd=lwd, lty=lty,cex=1.1,ncol=3,title = "Horizons",...

This in an enhancement requestion, to add the capability to pass arguments through barplot() to legend(). I've created a version that does this. # Run this code; notice that the legend # is superposed over one bar: barplot(height = cbind(x = c(465,91) / 465 * 100, y = c(840,200) / 840 * 100, z = c(37,17) / 37 * 100), beside = FALSE, width = c...
