: it so often I've made my own simple non-robust wrap-around, so I don't have 
to

: course there should be the option of entering in your own coordinates. 

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

feature migrated to the base graphics.

: 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

pretty
: result and can be a pain if your symbols are complicated.
