Hi,
I think this is a very common question on this list. I've just created
a page in the R wiki (inspired by https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2007-May/132466.html)
. With some suggestions and improvements, hopefully we can make a good
reference for others to refer to in the future:

Hope this helps,
baptiste

I am creating a CDF plot function more user-friendly than any
default r
function. Depending upon the bimodality of the data (it is often
bimodal),
or any other strange data trends, the points can end up gathering in
just
about any corner of the plot. So, when I add a legend, whether I
choose to
add it in the bottom right, top left, or wherever, it will sometimes
end up
putting the legend right on the data itself. So, I tried to force the
legend to certain data values (e.g., the largest in x & the smallest
in y,
to "really" get the bottom right), but then this means most of the
legend is
missing because it is outside of the "plot region".
How can I create a legend that is fully outside of the plot,
similar to
what excel does by default, for example?
Thanks!
Mike
