[R] Creating a Legend

[baptiste auguie]

Hi,

I think you want the following,

df <- data.frame(x=rnorm(100), y=rnorm(100))
plot(df)
legend("topright", title="Land Use Type", cex=0.75, pch=16,
		col=c("red", "green"),legend=c("Urban", "green"), ncol=2)


I could not find a way to have a different text size for the title,  
but it's easy to do in lattice or ggplot2.
