I am sorry that this is another novice question. I am having trouble
using "legend" with the survival curve plot from the survival package,
and I wonder if it is because I have rescaled my plot.
Here is the relevant segment of code:
plot(survfit(Surv(OS,Status)~shortishcr1),main='Overall Survival by
Here the variable OS is in days, but I want to plot it in years, so I
scale it; likewise y is scaled to a percentage.
I am trying to position the legend in the rescaled x and y values.
Legend returns no error, but no legend appears on the plot.
If I exclude the scaling altogether:
plot(survfit(Surv(OS,Status)~shortishcr1),main='Overall Survival by
then the legend appears exactly as expected.
Using the unscaled version of the legend call with the scaled plot,
however, again no legend appears but no error is returned.
I suspect I am making some elementary mistake, but I just can't see it.
It is so elementary that I can't find a similar question in the
archives. Can someone help?
