Dear all, I would like to make 6 barplots in one page but with a legend that applies to all the barplots and would like to put it in the central-bottom of the page. I know only how to make legend for individual barplot, but since all my barplots have the same type and would be better if i just use one legend for all of them, and i cannot seem to find a way to put the legend in the bottom and centered. Please advice... I set the margins (and font type) as follows : par(mfrow=c(3,2),pty="m") # Layout with 3x2 plots par(oma=c(3,4,3,4)) # Outer margins par(mar=c(5,5,2,2)) # Inner margins par(xpd=F) par(family="serif", font=1) # Times New Roman font
Hi Yayu, First, leave enough space below your plots, then: # allow the legend to display outside the plots par(xpd=TRUE) # work out where you want the legend in the user coordinates # of the _last_ plot displayed legend(x,y,...) par(xpd=FALSE) Jim
