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') Cheers, Bert Cheers, Bert On Sat, Mar 4, 2023 at 7:45 AM Sigbert Klinke <sigb...@wiwi.hu-berlin.de> wrote: > 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.
