Hello, does anybody know which command to consider when I'm trying to plot a stacked barplot with a legend at the most empty portion of the graphic? I've searched for it, and somebody stated to use the labcurve-command, but I don't know how to produce stacked barplots with it. Is there any possibility to plot a legend box "dynamically" (= in an empty region) with the

Dear R-Users, I am looking for a way to get legends placed automagically in an empty spot on a graph. Additional complication comes through my useage of multiple graphs on the same plot through mfrow. Is there a way to achieve this in R ? I have legends for each of the sub-plots. Many thanks in advance, Tolga Generally, this communication is for informational purposes only and it is not

Dear r-help If I display plots on the X11 device, the legends looks fine. But if make an EPS, the longer entry in the legend is cutoff (and also in the .pdf I do from the .eps) Can you give me a hint and tell me what I do wrong, please ? postscript("plot.eps",paper="special",horizontal=F,onefile=F,width=8.0,height=7.0) dev.set (2) dev.copy (which=3) dev.off (3) R Version

Is there a simpler way then the solution to the one that was posted here? I'm not very proficient with legend, and I don't understand this solution. All I have is two or more lines on one plot that I want to put a legend on and I can't figure out how to do it from the examples. Can you give a very simple example? It does not have to be fancy!! I have never worked with a

Hello, placings of legends is sometimes tricky. For placing outside the plot region I found locator to be useful. Unfortunately, the click defines the upper left corner. Is there a way to change this corner (say lower right corner)? Thanks, Christian

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 all, I'm doing a lot of plots and all of them should have a legend. The problem is that this legend not always have to be in the same place, because some plots can override the legend box. I'm wondering if there exist a command that "optimally" allocate the legend position, I'm refer to a MATLAB's command'slegend and it's option "Best". Exist? What

System info: Linux slackware R Version 1.5.1 (2002-06-17) ESS 5.1.21 Emacs 21.2.1 ------------------- Colleagues Is there a way to add a legend to an image plot? I don't see any reference to legends in the documentation (so I suppose the answer is no?). Although the documentation says image takes plot() parameters, it isn't clear to me how the usual use of legend in a plot command

I have a bunch of jpg files that I need to count cells on. Some cells are green and some cells are red. Is there a function like locator that I could use to manually count the cells? I would like to be able to click on a cell, have it marked so I don't count it again and have a counter keep track. Locator comes close but I would only be able to count one colour at a time. Is there a way I

Hi listers, I want to make lattice plots xyplots with the indication of legends inside each panel with only the points and the lines actually ploted inside each given panel according to the group(ing) factor. The code below shows what I have achieved so far and I hope will make clear what I want to have. It seems to me that my solution is a very "dirty hack" and there certainly is

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

Hello, I have a time series plot drawn using 3 different colored lines, each line corresponds to different category group. I'd like to put legends on the plot. I am using "legend" to do this, however, I can either specify lty or col in legend. Will I be able to do the following in the legend box: a solid black line then g1, a solid red line then g2, a solid blue line then g3?

Hi R People: Here is a simple set of commands: >x1 <- 1:10 >x2 <- sqrt(x1) >plot(x1) >points(x2,col="red",pch=3) >legend(2,8,legend=c("First","Second"),col=c("black","red"),pch=c(1,3)) > Fine. Now, I would like to put the legend box on the outside of the plot itself, perhaps in the lower left hand corner. I've been

Hi there, I have the following plot. The circles and the line do not cross in the main plot. But in the legend, the circle and the line cross. I am wondering if there is a way to make the legend look like the plot without crossing. I looked around but did not find a way to do that. Is it doable? plot(x,x^1.5, pch=1, lty=1, type='b') legend(1,25, legend="hello",pch=1,

How can I suppress a legend in a barplot when I'm plotting factors? Here's what I'm doing, x and y are both factors: plot(x,y) This gives me a barplot with a legend where I don't want it. My best solution so far is plot(x,y,legend=F) which just gives me an error message and doesn't finish the plot, but at least it doesn't put the legend on. Then I can go back and add

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

Hi all I have a question about plotting line types and legends. Here's a short piece of code to demonstrate: x <- y <- seq(1,10) plot(x,y, type ="l", lty="33") lines(x,y+1, lty=1) legend( 8,2,legend=c("lty=1","lty=\"33\""), lty=c(1,"33") ) On my system (see below), the line types in the legend are not the same as in the

Has anyone had success with producing legends to a qplot graph such that the legend is placed on the bottom, under the abcissa rather than to the right hand side ? The following doesn't move the legend: library(ggplot2) qplot(mpg, wt, data=mtcars, colour=cyl, gpar(legend.position="bottom") ) I am using ggplot2_0.8.2. Thanks in advance, Avram

I'm trying to develop a systematic way of placing legends on (among other things) scatterplots of grouped data. The journals in my field can be very fussy about the placement of figure legends. Typically they want them to be in either of two places - the upper left corner of the plotting area, not obscuring any data points, or outside the plotting area in the lower right hand corner of
