It can be changed by slightly modifying the scatterplot() command in the R Script window and re-submitting it.
>From the top menu select Data | Data in packages | Read data set from an >attached package. Then type Pottery in the space next to "Enter name of data >set" (notice that Pottery is capitalized). >From the top menu select Graphs | Scatterplot and then select Al as the >x-variable and Ca as the y-variable. Click on Plot by groups... and select >Site (and unselect Plot lines by group). Click OK and OK again to produce the >plot. The legend is outside the plot region and the top margin has been >expanded to make room for it. In the R Script window you will see the command: scatterplot(Ca~Al | Site, reg.line=lm, smooth=TRUE, spread=TRUE, id.method='mahal', id.n = 2, boxplots='xy', span=0.5, by.groups=FALSE, data=Pottery) add a single argument to the end of the command so that it looks like this: scatterplot(Ca~Al | Site, reg.line=lm, smooth=TRUE, spread=TRUE, id.method='mahal', id.n = 2, boxplots='xy', span=0.5, by.groups=FALSE, data=Pottery, legend.coords="topright") Then select all three lines and click Submit: The new plot puts the legend in the upper right corner of the plot region. R Commander uses the scatterplot() function from package ca to create the plot. It has several options that are not included on the options dialog window in R Commander, but can be accessed simply by editing the command that R Commander creates. To see these options type ?scatterplot On an empty line in the R Script window, put the cursor on the line and click Submit. This will open your web browser with the manual page for scatterplot. ------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of INGRAM Joanne Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2015 9:53 AM To: r-help@R-project.org Subject: [R] Plot in Rcmdr Hello, I wondered if anyone could help me with a small issue in Rcmdr. I have used the 'Graphs' function in the drop-down menu to create a scatterplot for groups (gender). But when I do this the legend (telling me the symbols which represent male etc.) keeps obscuring the title of the plot. Does anyone know how to fix this problem - within Rcmdr? Please note I am not looking for help with creating the graph in another way (for example in R). I am specifically trying to figure out if this can be fixed in Rcmdr. If the answer is "No - this cannot currently be changed within Rcmdr" I would still like to hear from you. Many thanks for any help.
