What about

 plot(c(0,1), c(0,1), type="n")
legend("top", legend=c("", "a", ""), col=c("blue", "red", "green"), title="test", y.intersp=c(1,-0.4), lwd=1)

(in recent versions of R)

Best,
Uwe

Hi,

I think you are right, legend cannot do it. I have now created my own legend function where I changed only one line and now it works the way I want it to. But I'm not sure if that might not have other side effects.



I have the impression that the legend and the title start at the same y-position (try y.intersp=0). Only if y.intersp is big enough, then it leads to a non-overlap of title and legend.

Thanks a lot

But maybe someone else will show that I'm wrong.

Hi,

thanks, but this does not solve the problem. If I make y.intersp large
enough then it works properly. Maybe I was not clear enough: I want to
have the small distance between the lines and no overlap between the
title and the lines.

Set the legend position explicitly with x and y values and add xpd = TRUE to the legend call to clip the plot to the figure region and not the plot
region (the default). Something like this (you may have to fool around
with
y.intersp, etc. to allow enough space between the legend lines):

plot(c(0,1), c(0,1), type="n")

legend(x = .4, y = 1.25, legend=c("", "", "a"), col=c("blue", "red",
"green"), xpd = TRUE, lty = 1, y.intersp= .75, title = 'test')

Hi,

my MWE is not working as expected:

plot(c(0,1), c(0,1), type="n")

legend("top", legend=c("", "", "a"), col=c("blue", "red", "green"),
title="test", y.intersp=0.2, lwd=1)

The lines are not below the title. I want (nearby) lines as in the plot,
but below the title. Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks Sigbert
