Additional parameters to legend()
.
Colour palette to depict.
Specify either a vector of colours, or a function such that palette(n)
returns a vector of n colours.
Character vector with which to label points on palette
.
Note that, in a vertical legend, values will be printed from top down;
use rev()
to reverse the order.
Additional parameters to segments()
,
controlling line style. Use lend = "butt"
(the default) if palette
is
semitransparent, to avoid artefacts.
Character specifying the type of box to be drawn around the
legend. The allowed values are "o"
(the default) and "n"
.
Character expansion factor relative to current par("cex")
.
Vector of length two specifying width of legend bar at base and top.
Character string specifying whether width = 1
corresponds to:
"pch"
, the size of a plotting symbol with pch = 1
;
"lwd"
, the width of a line with lwd = 1
.
Colour used for the width bar.
A list, returned invisibly, with components:
rect
A list with components:
w
, h
: positive numbers giving width and height of the
legend's box.
left
, top
: x and y coordinates of the upper left corner of the
box.
text
: A list with components x
, y
, numeric vectors of length
length(legend)
, giving the x and y coordinates of the legend's text(s).
This convenience function is not yet very customizable; do file a GitHub issue if you would value additional functionality.
Note that the bg
parameter to specify the background colour for the legend
box is not presently supported in vertical legends.
For use in vertical legends, open a GitHub issue.
