Re: [R-sig-Geo] prob with legend in my plots!

[govindas]

Thanks for the info. I got my legend inside the plot, but if i want to mention 
the location of the legend in terms of the coordinates, then how do I measure 
the coordinates? rather, how do i mention it for the legend's location 
(because both "X" and "Y" axes seldom have the same units - so how 
to figure this out?)

Thanks for all your responses
