[R] line jump in plot legend title

[Dutrieux, Loïc]

I also noticed, after sending the code that the modification does only work when the legend is positioned at the bottom of the figure region , and the function crashes when no title is provided.
The modification I applied to the code was intended to be more the solving of a particular problem than a real contribution to the function. Unfortunately my programing skills are quite limited to really contribute to the project.
However, if one of you manage to make the change work in all case, I believe including it in a next version of R is relevant.

Regards,

Loïc

But there was code at the link. It does behave as hoped with defaults unchanged, but when cex is altered, the size of the box does not seem to change appropriately.
