specify size of box around legend
Also you can specify the upper left/lower right coordinates of the legend box:
# Get the default positions/sizes
plot(1, 1)
a <- legend(x="topleft", legend = x, title = "L 1")
b <- legend(x="bottomleft", legend = y, title = "L 2")
# Use those to change the box size
plot(1, 1)
legend(x=c(a$rect$left, a$rect$left+b$rect$w), y=c(a$rect$top,
a$rect$top-a$rect$h), legend = x, title = "L 1")
legend(x="bottomleft", legend = y, title = "L 2")

Hi Rainer,
You can use the text.width argument and override the calculated legend
text widths.

Hi assume the following code: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- plot(1,1) legend(x="topleft", legend = LETTERS[1:10], title = "L 1") legend(x="bottomleft", legend = paste(LETTERS[1:10], letters[1:12],LETTERS[1:10]), title = "L 2") legend(x="topright", legend = LETTERS[1:15], title = "L 3") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- The box around L 1 is less wide than the box around L 2 due to automatic sizing of the box. Is there a way of specifying the width of the box, so that L 1 and L 2 have the same width? In the same sense: can I also specify the height of the legend, so that L 1 and L 3 have the same height?
