I need to create a legend for a simple scatter plot in the following format.
This is Blah1 number1 number2 This is Blah2 number3 number4 . . . This is Blah6 number11 number12 I looked up these help pages and found the following solution. lStr<-c(Blah1, Blah2,....Blah6, number 1, number2, ...number12) legend(x="topright",lStr,ncol=3) So this creates the tabular format I am looking for. But the width of each column is matched to the width of the longest column. So the legend now looks like this: This is Blah1 number1 number2 This is Blah2 number3 number4 . . . This is Blah6 number11 number12 And thus, I have the legend occupying most part of the top half of my plot. I was wondering if there is any way to fit in the legend compactly or even better to format the width of columns 2 and 3 in the legend and remove the blank spaces between them. I have tried rounding off the number values to 3 digits with no luck. I hope this is not too ambitious to ask. Thanks in advance!
