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

...re 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)
tsFake <- barplot(0,0, axes=FALSE)
legend(x=1, y=0,
legend=legText,
# set fill, angle, density to match your real graph scheme
xjust=1,...
