Legend titles work in linear plots: curve(1/x, xlim = c(0, 1)) legend(x = 'topright', inset = 0.04, legend = '1/x', lty = 1, title = 'Legend Title')
But when you change to a log plot on either dimension things get screwy: curve(1/x, xlim = c(0, 1), log = 'y') legend(x = 'topright', inset = 0.04, legend = '1/x', lty = 1, title = 'Legend Title') If you save the value legend() returns you can look at it and see that it's messed up: l <- legend(x = 'topright', inset = 0.04, legend = '1/x', lty = 1, title = 'Legend Title') > l $rect $rect$w [1] 0.2349272 $rect$h [1] 0.2727899 $rect$left [1] 0.7618728 $rect$top [1] 1.9936 $text $text$x [1] 0.9188374 $text$y [1] 1.81174 > R.Version() $platform [1] "i686-redhat-linux-gnu" $arch [1] "i686" $os [1] "linux-gnu" $system [1] "i686, linux-gnu" $status [1] "" $major [1] "2" $minor [1] "2.1" $year [1] "2005" $month [1] "12" $day [1] "20" $"svn rev" [1] "36812" $language [1] "R" ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
