legend() in a multiple figure environment
Now I got how to reproduce it, it has nothing to do with multiple figure environment but rather with figure resizing. Here it is: curve(dnorm,col=4,from=-4,to=4); legend(-4,0.3,legend="curve",lty=1,col=4) # Now expand the figure to full screen legend(-4,0.2,legend="curve",lty=1,col=4) Simone On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 2:39 PM, Martin Maechler

I don't see that behavior at all, rather the two boxes have identical dimensions for me. What does dev.cur() say? if anything with "X11..." (as you are on Linux), what does str(X11.options()) give?
