Hi, I have struggled with this quite a bit (all morning and afternoon) and I am not sure I am any close to a solution. Basically, here is my sample code:
require(grid) require(ggplot2) X <- data.frame(x = c(rnorm(10), rnorm(10, mean = 2, sd = 2), rnorm(10, mean =5)), group = c(rep("Ellipse", 10), rep("PeakAmp", 10), rep ("Rectangle", 10))) bp <- ggplot(data=X, aes(x=group, y=x, colour=group)) + geom_point() + theme_bw() bp + theme(legend.background = element_rect(fill = "white", color = "black", size = 0.1, linetype="solid"), legend.key = element_rect(fill = 'white', color = "white", size = 0.1), legend.text = element_text(size = 8), legend.key.height = unit(0.5, "cm"), legend.key.width = unit(0.5, "cm"), legend.justification=c(0.9,0.1), legend.position=c(0.9, 0.1)) dev.copy2pdf(file = "Rplots.pdf", height = 4, width = 6.5) I get exactly what i want on the plotting device (x11). However, the pdf has text spilling out of the legend box. I understand that this could be an issue of the viewer and the encoding but is there anything I can do in R to reliably get around this issue in the plots preparation stage?
