i'd like to plot a legend in my diagram. The diagram will be included
in a TikZ LaTeX document later.
I tried the legend() function, but
- it can not find a good place it self where the legend fits
and playing around with coordinates and scaling consumes a lot time
- standard settings for the text need adjustment
(linespacing is quite large and so on)
Is there an alternative to legend()?
Is it possible to place the legend() outside of the plot area?
Kind regards,
There are various alternatives available; you can also write your own,
by modifying the standard one.
Generally there are lots of possibilities for customizing within the
standard one; e.g. y.intersp will affect the line spacing, using a
negative value for inset (together with xpd=NA) will allow the legend to
be moved outside the plot.
