Hello Uwe.
Thanks for the response. I was searching in bug repository for something 
else and found that wish. Hoewever I tried to do a search for that, so I 
would not bother R-devel team. I was not successfull in finding any 
meaningfull comments on legend in

http://developer.r-project.org/R.svnlog.2005
You are right with NEWS file in R-devel. It really documents this 
improvement. Very nice. You guys really do an excellent job. I did not 
looked in NEWS file since it is kind of hidden i.e. one needs to download 
the R-devel and look in that file. But I confes, it is my blame, not of 
R-devel folk. However I think, that it would be nice that link to NEWS file 
would be accessible directly from R websites. I wrote few lines of HTML 
code that could be added to CRAN webpages for this. I hope r-team or CRAN 
maintainers will find this usefull.

Look files:
* A replacement for http://cran.at.r-project.org/sources.html. I added link 
to last R-devel and R-patched archives and to corresponding NEWS files. 
However there are now no NEWS files at 
ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R. I suggest that NEWS files for last 
R-devel and R-patched should be there, but since there are two, they could 
be named NEWS-devel and NEWS-patched or something alike. Maybe one could 
even divide directories ro R-devel and R-pacthed.

File is available at:
http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/sources.html
* A replacement for http://cran.at.r-project.org/banner.shtml. I added the 
same as above.

Yes, in the current developer release (AKA R-devel, to be R-2.1.0), as

It would be nice if legend had the option of some default locations 
you could
choose instead of entering specific coordinates, like topleft,
topright,topcenter, etc. based on par(usr) coordinates. I know 
I've wanted
it so often I've made my own simple non-robust wrap-around, so I don't 
have to
remember or parse the xjust and yjust options necessary to make it 
work. Of
course there should be the option of entering in your own coordinates.
Also it would be nice to be able to put a optional title inside your 
legend.
Currently I just make my title the first value in my legend vector, 
and then fix
the other options so no symbols plot next to it. But this isn't always 
a pretty
result and can be a pain if your symbols are complicated.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

I'm also glad to see this features go into the standard packages.  

I think that it may be worthwhile to regularly 'nominate' features/functions
present in other packages for 'promotion' into the standard R packages.

That's a good idea.  I would certainly like to see the handy 
sfsmisc::glob2rx in the standard R packages.  It converts
a glob, i.e wildcard specification, into a regular expression and
therefore can be plugged into many spots in the standard R
functions.  Its body is only 2 lines long.

 Check out smartlengend in package gtools which is part of the gregmisc

 I've put both the title and keyword placement of the legend into
 legend() now, in R-devel.  I was unaware of the smartlegend() function
 (which is actually in gplots); I've just now added an inset
 parameter like it has.  The specification for the location is slightly
 different than smartlegend() uses.  Because legend() handles the
 second parameter in a strange way and I didn't want to fiddle with
 that, I put the specification entirely in the first parameter:  you
 say you want the legend at one of bottomright, bottom,
 bottomleft,  left, topleft, top, topright,
 right, or center.
 
 This should be downloadable tomorrow from the CRAN mirrors.

Sweet, thanks. I'm probably not the only one who wrote simple little
wrappers for that at one point.  Good to have a more general solution in
base.

Dirk

[Rd] Wishlist: simple legend options (PR#7400)

It would be nice if legend had the option of some default locations you could
choose instead of entering specific coordinates, like topleft,
topright,topcenter, etc. based on par(usr) coordinates. I know I've wanted
it so often I've made my own simple non-robust wrap-around, so I don't have to
remember or parse the xjust and yjust options necessary to make it work. Of
course there should be the option of entering in your own coordinates. 

Also it would be nice to be able to put a optional title inside your legend.
Currently I just make my title the first value in my legend vector, and then fix
the other options so no symbols plot next to it. But this isn't always a pretty
result and can be a pain if your symbols are complicated.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

I think those are both great suggestions, and not too hard to do.
I'll put them into R-devel (if someone else hasn't already done so).
