plotting on the figure margin
?par see the 'xpd' argument; e.g. you may use legend(..., xpd = NA) or use the 'lattice' package Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyihui at gmail.com> Phone: +86-(0)10-82509086 Fax: +86-(0)10-82509086 Mobile: +86-15810805877 Homepage: http://www.yihui.name School of Statistics, Room 1037, Mingde Main Building, Renmin University of China, Beijing, 100872, China

Dear R-list members, I am trying to put a legend just outside the plotting area of a graph. 1. Is there some way to plot symbols on the figure margin, in the same way as function "mtext" can write on the margin? 2. Is there some way to use the "legend" function (or some equivalent function) to plot a legend on the figure margin? 3. Any other way to plot either symbols or a legend on the margin? I use R 2.7.2, running on Windows XP. Thank you very much.
