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.

[Rd] documentation for legend(): possible missing info for pch.

2012-12-07 Thread Laurent Gautier

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

  pch: the plotting symbols appearing in the legend, either as
  vector of 1-character strings, or one (multi character)
  string.  _Must_ be specified for symbol drawing.

Best,


Laurent
