Dear Simone,

Did mean that the legend (text and/or box) overlap with the Normal density? If so then I think there's no problem as the legend is placed where you told R to do. And R won't check (for you) if it will overlap or not with pre-existing graphical elements.

On my computer, I got the expected results - if I understood correctly your issue though. For information:

   R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22)
   Linux mathieu-laptop 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Fri Dec 19 16:29:52
   UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu Intrepid)

Cheers,
Mathieu

Dear all,

there seems to be a problem with displayed legends when a multiple
figure environment is used, see the following example:

par(mfrow=c(1,2))
curve(dnorm,col=4,from=-4,to=4);
legend(-4,0.3,legend="curve",lty=1,col=4)
legend(-4,0.2,legend="curve",lty=1,col=4)


On my machines the first time the command legend() is issued the
legend box stretches over the curve. Subsequent calls to legend seems
to produce a correct box instead.

openSuse 11.0

I see this on the same version of R on Windows VISTA 32 bit as well; I
do not see this behaviour on a machine with R 2.8.0.

Thank you,

Simone
