Dear Timothy,

I will suggest that if the bty='n' approach works that is a good solution.

Sometimes though not always.

If you have 50 graphs and they all have the same legend, then put the legend in 
a common area outside the graphs or in graph 1 (and a comment in the legend or 
a footnote.)

I have 5 graphs with up to 200 data points each and different legends.

I would be fine with the legend outside the graph, if that was necessary.

Good idea.

If data points are critical for some users then include the raw data as an 
appendix or electronic attachment.

The users have the data. This is just for an EDA.

If I had to wade through a large number of graphs I think I would get more 
annoyed at having the legend appear in odd places within the graph. It might 
highlight skills in R to make the legend dynamically placed (change size and 
placement to fit the largest open area within a graph), but it would not 
improve communication in my opinion.

Good point!

Best,
Helmut
