[R] Legend position outside

[Greg Snow]

Yes, here is one way:

> plot(1:10, pch=1:2)
> par(xpd=NA)
> tmp.u <- par('usr')
> legend(tmp.u[1], tmp.u[4], xjust=0, yjust=0, c('a','b'), pch=1:2)
> 

You will probably want to increase the margins for a real case.  See
?par and the 'xpd' entry for details on the clipping and ?legend for
more details on creating the legend.

Hope this helps,
