similar to: increase size of filled box in a legend

Hi all, i'm sure there is an easy way to do this, but i'm stumped, so any help would be appreciated. i have a single column of data for precipitation every 15 minutes over a year. i want to sum the precip to daily data. so the first 96 records = the first day, the second 96 records = the second day, and so on.... is there a way to write a for loop that would sum the data to daily, and

HI there, I want to add a legend to a plot using the density and angle argument, so patterns with lines in different angles are used in the plot and should be referred to. When I use default settings, the filled boxes are too small. With the cex argument I can enlarge the whole legend, but then the text gets too big. How could I just increase the size of the single boxes and not the text. I

Dear R community, I'm hoping someone out there has perhaps done this and can share their code and/or expertise with me. I need to pull recession periods out of a hydrograph - can anyone help me with this? I want to create a subset from streamflow data that consists of just the recession curves - the decreasing runoff after the passage of a peak flow. would really appreciate any help on

Hello, I have difficulties combining boxes and lines in plot legend. I searched previous R-posts and found this (with no solution): http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/07/30248.html. Is there a way to avoid boxes behind the line legends? x1 <- rnorm(100) x2 <- rnorm(100, 2) hist(x1, main = "", col = "orange",ylab = "density", xlab = "x", freq =

Hi folks, Please let me know what I am doing wrong. I want to have a legend with symbols that are filled with same color as the drawn line, but I failed to do that: plot(1:100, 1:100, pch=21, bg="red") legend("bottomright", "test", bty='n', pch=21, bg="red", col="red") It looks to me that the "bg" option in legend does not

Hello, For a reason I can't seem to figure out (have searched posts on this forum for "filled.contour grid"), the grid (in the code below) is plotting over the legend that accompanies the filled.contour. The dataset has 40 columns and 20 rows. Where have I gone wrong? How can I draw a grid with 40 columns and 20 rows that is constrained to the plotted region and doesn't draw

Hey everyone, I'm working on a contour plot depicting asymptomatic prevalence at varying durations of infectiousness and force of infection. I've been able to work everything out except for this one - my legend title keeps getting cut off. Here's what I have: filled.contour(x=seq(2,30,length.out=nrow(asym_matrix)), y=seq(1,2,length.out=ncol(asym_matrix)), asym_matrix, color =

I hope this will be an easy question to resolve, but I haven't been able to find a way to hide a legend in a filled.contour plot. I've looked at the filled.contour help file and Googled, but to no avail so far. I'd appreciate any solutions to the problem. Thanks, -John [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Good morning to you. I have about 4 different lines in one plot. I have used legend to indicate the colour of each plot. But the box contain the legend covers part of the lines thereby blurring the legend. There are some spaces in the plot that are empty and large enough to accommodate the legend box. If there a command I could use to set the position of the legend myself. I added the legend

Hi, I've looked at the parameters available for the legend function and cannot find a way to change the distance between the top of the box surrounding a legend and the legend's title. I have a math expression that raises the height of my title. If you don't mind the non-sensical title I give to the legend for this plot (Figure 3.20 in R Graphics): with(iris,

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,

Does anyone know how to make one legend above the plots drawn using par(mfrow=c(1,2)), ie in the margin? All I've managed is to put a legend inside the plot region of one graph. Although I could write text in the margin I don't know how to draw lines in the margin if I were to construct the legend from scratch. Thanks for any help. Lucy Crooks Theoretical Biology

Hello all, When I view or print the below plot on my Linux machine under R 2.0.1 I see a nice thick solid and dashed line with a legend. However, while the lines are distinguishable, the legend is not. That is, the short (solid) line next to "line1" and the short (dashed) line next to "line2" seem to have the exact same length. What I would like to do is to expand the legend

Hi weekend R helpers, *Is it possible to get a ylabel on the right hand side axis ==> axis(4)? Thankx, Jan opar <- par(mfrow = c(2,1)) plot(ts.Origi[,1],ylab='NDII', main=name) # Add the legend text in the right order legend.txt <- c("NDII", "Inverse KBDI") legend(2001.8,0.29, legend.txt,col=c(1,2), lty=1)

Hi. I have a plot containing a large number of lines. I have placed a legend in the plot, but with so many lines, the legend takes up a lot of space. I have tried to reduce the spacing between the lines using the legend parameter x.intersp=0.7, but this does not compress the legend enough. Is there some way to make the text font size smaller in "legend"? Thanks, RH.

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to harmonize the ouput of symbols() and legend() both from the graphics package. Let us take this example: x<-runif(10) y<-runif(10) z<-runif(10) leg<-round(seq(min(z),max(z),l=4),2) # 4 values rounded up to 2 decimals for the legend symbols(x,y,circles=z,inches=0.2) legend("topright",legend=leg,pch=1,pt.cex=leg/max(leg)*2) #

I have made a plot with a legend and on the screen it looks fine, but when I save as jpg or pdf, or print, the legend box is too small, it cuts through the words on the right side. I put an example here: http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/R/apdftest.pdf Is there a work around? -- Paul E. Johnson email: pauljohn at ukans.edu Dept. of Political Science

Hello, I need to reduce the size of the text in a legend since the legend is overlapping with the curves in my plot. I've not been able to identify any way to achieve this in the documentation. Anyone have any suggestions on how to scale down the text or the overall legend? Thanks in advance for your help! Chris Diehl [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
