similar to: Legend outside the plot? xpd?

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

I managed to get everything to look and feel the way I want except for the legend to plot outside the grid... Thanks for the note on the par, but I'm not able to it to plot outside the plot grid.. dataFrame <-

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 dear R users, i would like to have: 1. the legend outside of the plot and 2. add a grid to the plot. For 1. I found a example in the R mailinglist archive [1]. 1: http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/06/01/19423.html The total example code would be: > ?par > par(xpd=T, mar=par()$mar+c(0,0,0,4)) > plot(1,1) > legend(1.5,1,"point",pch=1) > grid(NULL,NULL,lwd=1) But

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

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

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

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',

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! 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 Milu, My fault here. As I don't have the data to make the map and try out my suggestions I mixed up the x and y coordinates. Try this: par(xpd=TRUE) arrows(-19.75966,53,33.60000,53,code=3) par(xpd=FALSE) Jim On Tue, Apr 12, 2016 at 10:11 PM, Miluji Sb <milujisb at gmail.com> wrote: > Hello Jim, > > Thanks again.

Hello Jim, Thanks again. I am getting the two-headed arrow but I cannot seem to get the coordinates right for the arrow to appear beneath the map. These coordinates puts the arrow on the left hand side. Thanks again!

Hi Milu, There is a two-headed arrow on the image you sent, and it seems to be where you specified. Did you want it beneath the map, as: par(xpd=TRUE) arrows(-22,54.75,-22,74,code=3) par(xpd=FALSE) Jim On Tue, Apr 12, 2016 at 7:58 PM, Miluji Sb <milujisb at gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Jim, > > Thanks again!

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 Milu, I just realized that by "the bottom of the map" you may mean "beneath the map", in which case you should use: par(xpd=TRUE) arrows(...) par(xpd=FALSE) Jim On Mon, Apr 11, 2016 at 11:50 PM, Miluji Sb <milujisb at gmail.com> wrote: > Dear David, > > Thank you very much for your replies!

Dear R-devel, I think I've found a bug - the alpha transparency doesn't work when plotting lines with xpd = TRUE. #works plot(1:20, col="#1874CD", xpd=T, type="l") #works plot(1:20, col="#1874CD50", xpd=F, type="l") #doesn't work plot(1:20, col="#1874CD50", xpd=T, type="l") Thank you.

Dear Jim, Thanks again! I do want the arrows at the bottom (beneath the map). This is what I am doing: # Draw the map eps_europe <- mapCountryData(n, nameColumnToPlot="eps_score", mapTitle="EPS Score - Europe",colourPalette=colourPalette, catMethod="fixedWidth", missingCountryCol = "white", mapRegion="Europe", addLegend=FALSE) # ISO3 codes on

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]]

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.

Hi, I am facing a problem with the legend, I don?t know how to use the fill option in the legend in order to achieve the same standard gray levels that are plotted. Sorry for this easy one, but I really did not find anything so far. It works fine with color: ###### C O L O R mat <- matrix(2,3,rep(2,6)) rownames(mat)<-c("A","B","C") par(xpd=T,
