- x, y
the x and y co-ordinates to be used to position the legend.
They can be specified by keyword or in any way which is accepted by
xy.coords
: See ‘Details’.
- legend
a character or expression vector
of length \(\ge 1\) to appear in the legend. Other
objects will be coerced by as.graphicsAnnot
.
- fill
if specified, this argument will cause boxes filled
with the specified colors (or shaded in the specified colors)
to appear beside the legend text.
- col
the color of points or lines appearing in the legend.
- border
the border color for the boxes (used only if
fill
is specified).
- lty, lwd
the line types and widths for lines appearing in the
legend. One of these two must be specified for line drawing.
- pch
the plotting symbols appearing in the legend, as
numeric vector or a vector of 1-character strings (see
points
). Unlike points
, this can all be
specified as a single multi-character string. Must be
specified for symbol drawing.
- angle
angle of shading lines.
- density
the density of shading lines, if numeric and
positive. If NULL
or negative or NA
color filling
is assumed.
- bty
the type of box to be drawn around the legend. The allowed
values are "o"
(the default) and "n"
.
- bg
the background color for the legend box. (Note that this is
only used if bty != "n"
.)
- box.lty, box.lwd, box.col
the line type, width and color for
the legend box (if bty = "o"
).
- pt.bg
the background color for the points
,
corresponding to its argument bg
.
- cex
character expansion factor relative to current
par("cex")
. Used for text, and provides the default for
pt.cex
.
- pt.cex
expansion factor(s) for the points.
- pt.lwd
line width for the points, defaults to the one for
lines, or if that is not set, to par("lwd")
.
- xjust
how the legend is to be justified relative to the legend
x location. A value of 0 means left justified, 0.5 means centered
and 1 means right justified.
- yjust
the same as xjust
for the legend y location.
- x.intersp
character interspacing factor for horizontal (x) spacing
between symbol and legend text.
- y.intersp
vertical (y) distances (in lines of text shared above/below each legend entry).
A vector with one element for each row of the legend can be used.
- adj
numeric of length 1 or 2; the string adjustment for legend
text. Useful for y-adjustment when labels
are
plotmath expressions.
- text.width
the width of the legend text in x ("user"
)
coordinates. (Should be positive even for a reversed x axis.)
Can be a single positive numeric value (same width for each column of the legend),
a vector (one element for each column of the legend),
NULL
(default) for computing a proper maximum value of strwidth(legend)
),
or NA
for computing a proper column wise maximum value of strwidth(legend)
).
- text.col
the color used for the legend text.
- text.font
the font used for the legend text, see text
.
- merge
logical; if TRUE
, merge points and lines but
not filled boxes. Defaults to TRUE
if there are points and lines.
- trace
logical; if TRUE
, shows how legend
does all
its magical computations.
- plot
logical. If FALSE
, nothing is plotted but the
sizes are returned.
- ncol
the number of columns in which to set the legend items
(default is 1, a vertical legend).
- horiz
logical; if TRUE
, set the legend horizontally
rather than vertically (specifying horiz
overrides the ncol
specification).
- title
a character string or length-one expression giving a
title to be placed at the top of the legend. Other objects will be
coerced by as.graphicsAnnot
.
- inset
inset distance(s) from the margins as a fraction of the
plot region when legend is placed by keyword.
- xpd
if supplied, a value of the graphical parameter xpd
to be used while the legend is being drawn.
- title.col
color for title
, defaults to text.col[1]
.
- title.adj
horizontal adjustment for title
: see the help
for par("adj")
.
- title.cex
expansion factor(s) for the title, defaults to cex[1]
.
- title.font
the font used for the legend title, defaults to text.font[1]
,
see text
.
- seg.len
the length of lines drawn to illustrate lty
and/or lwd
(in units of character widths).
- curve_options
a list whose names are curve graphical parameters, and whose
values are the corresponding graphical parameters values.
