Egad! Did I really type that?
I meant 'in R 2.10.0'.

Thanks Peter,

I'm using version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20). This version should be recent
enough to pick up fundamentals such as this, right? I guess the
obvious thing to do is update and try again...

Cheers,

Steve

Try border=c(0,0,1,0).

If the 'border' argument is not recognized, then this won't work.

Steve:
What version of R are you using? I have no problems with the
suggestions I gave you in R 2.10.1 or R 2.11.0 alpha.

Dear all,

Thanks for the response, however I'm getting the following error
message
when I execute the legend command using the 'border' argument:

Error in legend(10, par("usr")[4], c("A", "B", :
unused argument(s) (border = FALSE)


Is anyone aware of any alternative means of switching off boxes
around all
but one of the elements in a legend?

Many thanks for any input,

Steve

Dear all,

I am using the following code to generate a legend in my plot

(consisting of both bars and points), but end up with boxes around my
points:


legend(10, par("usr")[4], c("A", "B", "C", "D"), fill=c(NA,NA,
"grey28",

NA), pch=c(16,4,NA,18), col=c("red","blue","grey28","yellow"),
lty=FALSE,
bty="n", horiz=FALSE)


I want a box around the third element of the legend (to represent
the

bar 'fill' colour), but not for the others, where points are shown
instead.


What am I doing wrong above and how do I correct it?


Add the 'border' argument:

either

border = FALSE # in which case no box is drawn for any element

or

border = c(NA, NA, "black", NA)

Many thanks,

Steve
