[R] legend with filled boxes AND lines

[Martin Maechler]

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.
