[R] legend with filled boxes AND lines

2006-07-03 Thread florian . koller 

Dear all,

Is there a straightforward way to create a legend box that has both filled
boxes and lines?
So far I have built around this problem by creating two legends (with bty =
n) and manually drawing a box around both (but this is cumbersome,
because I have to check upon the y coordinates of the legends every time).

If I do something like  legend( ...,c(X1,X2, mean), fill = c(red,
blue, 0), lty = (0,0,2))  , I cannot get rid of the unfilled box or
change the color of the fill box border (from its default color black),
and I end up with two filled boxes and an empty, black-lined box plus the
line as a legend for the third argument mean. This trick therefore only
works if I define black as the bg color for the complete legend box
(because it masks the empty  box from the fill argument). So, if there is a
command to modify the color of the fill box border line (not the legend box
border line), this would help me, too (still not ideal, though...).

Thanks,
Florian

Did you try  legend(.., lty=..., fill=...,  merge = TRUE) ?

In an example I just tried, this allowed to give filled boxes
*and* lines.

Please give a reproducible example of what you did -- maybe by
modifying one of the many  example(legend)  examples.
