Hi All,
BG: Will try be brief. I'd like 3 graphs on a page (below each other
mfrow=c(3,1)), saved to pdf. The three plot data on the same subject
so I'm
having one legend, to the right of the center graph. I'm using
mar=c(5,15,4,15) to bring the sides in so that the graphs are square
and not
stretched wide. To have the graph to the side I'm thinking xpd=T.
Each graph
has a number of points and lines overlaid, so plot
();lines(),lines(),lines() etc.
The data is somewhat of a subset of a larger set, so I'm limiting
what is
being displayed. The lines plot trends of the wider data.
P: With xpd=T, the lines are going right out of the graph boxes to
the outer
limit of the plot boundaries, as would be the intended behaviour of
xpd.
Goes without saying that this is undesirable.
Q: Is there a better way to achieve what I want? At this stage I
have xpd=T
in the par(), and xpd=F in the plot() commands and all the line
commands,
just so I can get the legend to actually print...
Why not just use xpd=T inside legend()?
Aside: Given the way I've done this, the lines() are all clipped
RIGHT at
the limit of the plot box. So given the plot is called first these
lines
leave little coloured dashes on the black of the plot box. To sort
this I've
called box() at the end. This all seems very redundant?
Thanks
Matt
