rlegend: Special Version of legend for R

Description

rlegend is a version of legend for Rthat implements plot=FALSE, adds grid=TRUE, and defaults lty, lwd, pch to NULL and checks for length>0 rather than missing(), so it's easier to deal with non-applicable parameters. But when grid is in effect, the preferred function to use is rlegendg, which calls the lattice draw.key function.

Usage

rlegend(x, y, legend, fill, col = "black", lty = NULL, lwd = NULL, pch = NULL, angle = NULL, density = NULL, bty = "o", bg = par("bg"), pt.bg = NA, cex = 1, xjust = 0, yjust = 1, x.intersp = 1, y.intersp = 1, adj = 0, text.width = NULL, merge = do.lines && has.pch, trace = FALSE, ncol = 1, horiz = FALSE, plot = TRUE, grid = FALSE, ...)
rlegendg(x, y, legend, col=pr$col[1], lty=NULL,
         lwd=NULL, pch=NULL, cex=pr$cex[1], other=NULL)
