How do I move the legend from default position (right and within the

interaction.plot(YEAR, ID GROWTH, legend=TRUE, col = 2:7,xlab="Year",
ylim=c(0,2), ylab="Growth",leg.bty = "o")
You display the code from interaction.plot, make a new function, and
hack the location code for the legend x and y legend arguments which
are created as the 'xleg' and 'yleg' arguments internally for
positioning of the legend() and the text(...trace.label) pringint ....
and then you make the call again with your new function. Out of the
box the function adds extra xlim space on the basis of the value of
the 'legend' argument to interaction.plot to make sure the legend does
not get over-run by the the lines. The y positioning is determined
entirely by the ylim. There is no provision that I see for user-
supplied positioning arguments. It would be cleaner to add such named
arguments after the ,... in the argument list, since attempting to
pass named arguments directly to legend will generate a bunch of
warnings.
