[Rd] '...' passed to both plot() and legend()

[Dimitris Rizopoulos]

Dear R-devels,

I'd like to create a plot method for a class of objects that passes 
the '...' argument to both plot() and legend(), e.g.,

x <- list(data = rnorm(1000))
class(x) <- "foo"
plot.foo <- function(x, legend = FALSE, cx = "topright", cy = NULL, 
...){
    dx <- sort(x$data)
    plot(dx, dnorm(dx), type = "l", ...)
    if (legend)
        legend(cx, cy, "Gaussian density", bty = "n", ...)
    invisible()
}
#####################
plot(x)
plot(x, legend = TRUE, cex = 1.1)


However, and as expected, if I use an argument of plot() that is not 
an argument of legend() an error occurs, e.g.,

plot(x, legend = TRUE, cex.lab = 1.1)


Is there any (efficient and appropriate) way that I could use the 
'...' argument in this case?
