Hi,
Sorry about that. My mistake.
Try this:
barplot(VADeaths, names=rep("", 4), col=gray(1:3/4+0.01))
legend("bottom", legend=expression(scriptstyle("Strongly
disagree/disagree"),scriptstyle("Neutral"),scriptstyle("Strongly
agree/agree")), fill=gray(1:3/4+0.01), inset=-0.2, bty='n', horiz=T,
x.intersp=0.5,xjust=0,yjust=0,text.width=c(1,0.25,1))
#You can change the text.width value to increase or decrease the spacings.
A.K.

Subject: Re: [R] adjust space between horizontal legend text in a barplot
Thanks for the reply.
The one you provide is the vertical legend not for horizontal legend.
x.intersp= simply spreads out the space between symbols and legend text.
using the existing data in R for example,
barplot(VADeaths, names=rep("", 4), col=gray(1:3/4+0.01)) #five levels in this
data, but just for example purpose
legend <- c("Strongly disagree/disagree", "Neutral", "Strongly agree/agree")
par(xpd = TRUE)
legend("bottom", legend=legend, fill=gray(1:3/4+0.01), inset=-0.2, bty='n',
horiz=T, x.intersp=0.5)
