Hello, A bit of fairly simple code, yet I don't seem to be able to manipulate it quite as much as I would like:
1) It would be nice if the objects appearing in the legend were aligned, and by aligned I mean the boxes are centered over the lines. Do I need to adjust the use of "NA" in the code below to accomplish this? Here's how it appears on my machine: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4129402/example.png 2) Because I'm using a call to 'expression' in the text contained in the legend, it would be nice to space the lines of text a bit more. My feeble attempt was to increase the lheight parameter in the hopes this would affect the legend...to no avail. Further, lheight cannot be added to the argument list of legend. I've been unable to track down another parameter applicable to legend, suggestions very much appreciated. par(lheight=2) plot(1,1,col="white") legend("center", legend=c(expression(paste("Observed ",italic(bar(EC)[e]))),expression(paste("Simulated ",italic(bar(EC)[e]))),"test1","test2"), lty = c(NA,NA,1,1), col = c("black","black","red","blue"), density = c(NA,25,NA,NA), border=c("black","black",NA,NA), fill = c("grey","black",NA,NA), angle = c(NA,45,NA,NA), cex = 1.25, bty = "n", xpd = TRUE) > sessionInfo() R version 2.13.2 (2011-09-30) Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 [2] LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 [4] LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_2.13.2 > -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/legend-lheight-and-alignment-tp4129402p4129402.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
