troubles with displaying legend on the plot
Another trick (which I think I got from Modern Applied Statistics with S) is to compute xlim manually and add 20% or 50% on the right or left to create the blank space you want for the legend. hth spencer graves

Is is possible to place the legend outside a plot in any other way except using lattice package?
Sort of -- I once did that using layout(). In essence you arrange two (or more) plots on a page. One of those plots remains 'empty' and only contains a legend, which gives the desired of having a plot with a separate legend.
BTW, maybe it would be useful to place this question in FAQ? I've searched the mail archive. The question about placing the legend outside a plot already have arose...
This was discussed before. Simply trying one google query as in
http://www.google.com/search?q=legend+outside+r-help
or
http://www.google.com/search?q=legend+outside+site:r-project.org
shows several results, including one with the simpler answer
par(xpd=T)
Hope this helps, Dirk
