In the documentation for graphics::legend(), the entry for "pch" is:

If I did not misread them, examples in the same documentation page
suggest that it is also possible to pass integers.

The authors of legend() have not responded AFAICS.

It is possible to pass some integers, but 'pch = c(-1, 3, 4)' is not explained. Strangely although ?points documents the interpretation of both positive and non-negative integers, legend() excludes negative ones.

I'll correct the docs, at least.

Thank you for the report.
