[R] legend: interplay between title and y.intersp

[Sigbert Klinke]

Hi,

I think you are right, legend cannot do it. I have now created my own 
legend function where I changed only one line and now it works the way I 
want it to. But I'm not sure if that might not have other side effects.



I have the impression that the legend and the title start at the same 
y-position (try y.intersp=0). Only if y.intersp is big enough, then it 
leads to a non-overlap of title and legend.

Thanks a lot

Sigbert
