Maha, I suspect that the legend appears, but not within the limits of your plot. In this case you have an x axis that extends from â year(1980) to â year(2010) - which is 3652 - 14610, and a y axis from about 18 - 22.
Try the line below, and see if it become clear why your legend is not appearing at 0.1, 01 plot(0.1,0.1, xlim=c(as.numeric(as.Date('1980-01-01')), as.numeric(as.Date('2010-01-01'))), ylim = c(18,30), ylab='SST (dec C)', xlab='Year') you might find the locator() function helpful here. cheers Ben On 06/11/2010, at 9:58 AM, govin...@msu.edu wrote: > Hi, > > I have a problem with the appearance of legend in my plots.
