Hello Uwe.
Thanks for the response. I was searching in bug repository for something else and found that wish. Hoewever I tried to do a search for that, so I would not bother R-devel team. I was not successfull in finding any meaningfull comments on legend in
http://developer.r-project.org/R.svnlog.2005
You are right with NEWS file in R-devel. It really documents this improvement. Very nice. You guys really do an excellent job. I did not looked in NEWS file since it is kind of "hidden" i.e. one needs to download the R-devel and look in that file. But I confes, it is my blame, not of R-devel folk. However I think, that it would be nice that link to NEWS file would be accessible directly from R websites. I wrote few lines of HTML code that could be added to CRAN webpages for this. I hope r-team or CRAN maintainers will find this usefull.
Look files:
* A replacement for http://cran.at.r-project.org/sources.html. I added link to last R-devel and R-patched archives and to corresponding NEWS files. However there are now no NEWS files at ftp://ftp.stat.math.ethz.ch/Software/R. I suggest that NEWS files for last R-devel and R-patched should be there, but since there are two, they could be named NEWS-devel and NEWS-patched or something alike. Maybe one could even divide directories ro R-devel and R-pacthed.
File is available at: http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan/sources.html
* A replacement for http://cran.at.r-project.org/banner.shtml. I added the same as above.

Hello!
I was loooking in R-bugs and found under wishlist-fullfilled wish for "smart" placement of a legend. This has already been done in package
gplots in function smartlegend.
One question. This "bug-report" is under wishlist-fullfilled. Is it really
fullfilled?
Yes, in the current developer release (AKA R-devel, to be R-2.1.0), as you can easily see in the correpsonding NEWS file and the svn logs.
Why do you follow up into the bug repository?

It would be nice if legend had the option of some default locations you could
choose instead of entering specific coordinates, like "topleft",
"topright","topcenter", etc. based on par("usr") coordinates. I know I've wanted
it so often I've made my own simple non-robust wrap-around, so I don't have to
remember or parse the xjust and yjust options necessary to make it work. Of
course there should be the option of entering in your own coordinates.
Also it would be nice to be able to put a optional title inside your legend.
Currently I just make my title the first value in my legend vector, and then fix
the other options so no symbols plot next to it. But this isn't always a pretty
result and can be a pain if your symbols are complicated.
