similar to: Legend outside plot => grid not limited to plot

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, and make labels # smaller with horizontal y-axis labels

Dear All, I'm trying to attach a legend outside the plot (Inside plot OK), but failed. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks. Abd.

Hello! My code below creates a data frame and a plot for it. However, I can't figure out how to add a legend that is not ON the plot itself, but outside of it (e.g., to the right of my graph or below it). I tried something: I put a line par(xpd=T, mar=par()$mar+c(0,0,0,4)) right before my plot command), but that screwed up all my gridlines - they covered all graph and do not coincide with

Hi, I have been trying many of the suggested options to place a legend outside plotting area, including something like this: par(xpd=T, oma=par()$oma+c(4.5,0,1.5,0),mar=par()$mar+c(1,0,1,0) But the aspect of the four plots gets compromised when I change the margin settings. I cannot use mtext because I need to use colors for the text. I tried layout, but wouldn't let me include

Hi All, BG: Will try be brief. I'd like 3 graphs on a page (below each other mfrow=c(3,1)), saved to pdf. The three plot data on the same subject so I'm having one legend, to the right of the center graph. I'm using mar=c(5,15,4,15) to bring the sides in so that the graphs are square and not stretched wide. To have the graph to the side I'm thinking xpd=T. Each graph has a number

Hi, please can you help me. When I add a legend to a boxplot it appears inside the plot area, how do you get it into the margins? I have already changed the parameters so there is space for it on the margin on the right hand side of the graph. Thanks, Emily [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Thanks Bert for all the help. I got the legend figured out Friday but left early becoz of long weekend so didn't get a chance to reply.. I modified the plot margins a little bit and Here's what I finally had... par(mar=c(c(10, 6, 6, 10) + 0.1)); par(xpd=FALSE); with (dataFrame, stripchart(marbles_buried ~ genotype, method="jitter", vertical=TRUE, col = c('blue',

Dear List, I am trying to plot a color.legend() in the right outer margin of my device region. I have read multiple threads on the subject and still can't get it right. I have stolen an example from one of the threads to demonstrate my problem. I have extended the outer margin using par(oma()), and have used par(xpd=NA) to tell it to plot in the device region. I can get the legend to plot

Hello, I've just started R, and I'm getting a bit mad using it. I've managed to produce a barplot with the labels for the ytick marks placed horizontally (perpendicular to the y-axis) usiing par(las=1). The problem is that most of my labels are in part beyond the plotting area because they are rather long (e.g. "H. sapiens", "D. melanogaster" ...). What is the

Hello! I have created a plot and would like to put a legend in the top left corner (above and left of plotting region), but non of the functions can plot there (I tried 'legend', 'text', 'points', 'lines', 'mtext', 'axes',...). I would be very grateful if someone could help me put something in that corrner, with any fuction. Thanks, Ales Ziberna

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

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 (ie from the value returned by the legend() command). I

Hi, Is it possible to put the legend outside the plotting region? Say, I have some 24 lines within my plot, which pretty much filled the plotting region and left me no space (well not enough space) to put in a legend. So I'd like to put the legend outside the plotting region (i.e. the region enclosed by the two axis -- I hope I got my terminology right). Actually, I did the 24 lines with

Hello everyone, i’ve got a problem with my diagram’s legend. I know i should be able to figure it out by reading the ‘plot’ and ‘legend’ reference. However nothing works so it would be kind if anyone could point me to the necessary parameters. The problem is that i’m moving the legend using the ‘inset’-parameter so it does not overlap with the graph. However it vanishes outside the graph, so

Hi All, I have been trying to get to plot my PCA legend outside of the PCA plot, but success still alludes me. Can you guys please advise how I can achieve this. I used locater() to obtain coordinates for below the Comp.1 axis. Using these coordinates the legend disappears. Below is the code for the PCA and legend. Thanks in advance for the help.

In the following: plot(0:1, 0:1) legend(x=0, y=1.2, pch=c(1,2), legend=c("May","June")) the first plot character is omitted when plotting to the screen. I obtained the same behaviour when placing a legend in the margin following use of pairs() -please do not edit the information below-- Version: platform = i386-pc-mingw32 arch = x86 os = Win32 system = x86, Win32

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

Hello everybody, if I'm using par(xpd=NA) gridlines will plotted outside the plotting region. This is "new" (and, in my opinion, unaesthetic) in version 1.4 - compared to version 1.3. Is this a bug or a feature? Example: ------------------ par(xpd=NA) plot(1:11) grid() ------------------ platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6 arch sparc os solaris2.6

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
