Dear R Users,

I am writing code to present my output data (I'm using Lattice Package). However, it's essential for me to control space between barchart and legend. I've read the package's specification, but unfortunately I haven't spot the
information how to do this. Here's the code I've written:


require(lattice)

barchart(mymatrix[,1:ncol(mymatrix)], horizontal=FALSE,
box.width=1, stack=TRUE, border=FALSE, par.settings = simpleTheme(col=my_colors), lty="dotted", lend="butt",

key=list(space="bottom",
columns=ncol(mymatrix),
points=FALSE,
text=list(colnames(mymatrix)),
rectangles=list(border=FALSE,size=2, col=my_colors[1:ncol(mymatrix)]),
border=FALSE, rows=1, between=0.25))

a) You ought to use spaces and linefeeds for readability
b) It appears you are using the key option so the documentation is in the .../key section regarding placement:

"Alternatively, [and this comes just after the description of the space= options] the key can be positioned inside the plot region by specifying components x, y and corner. x and y determine the location of the corner of the key given by corner, which is usually one of c(0,0), c(1,0), c(1,1) and c(0,1), which denote the corners of the unit square. Fractional values are also allowed, in which case xand y determine the position of an arbitrary point inside (or outside for values outside the unit interval) the key."

Now I will admit that I did not understand what that last sentence regarding an "arbitrary point inside the key" might mean on the first three readings. I'm hoping it means a "user-determined point inside the _plot_". I also cannot figure out from that paragraph or the one that follows which corner of the key is being located.

Lack of an included example triggers my do-no-more rule regarding such posts.

Thank you for any assistance.
