I think plotting this outside of the chart area would be good but I cannot seem to fathom the correct code for this. I wondered if anyone could help please? The code I am using is as follows: grp<- with(Matan, cut(R_category_no,14, labels=1:14)) cols <- c("grey0", "wheat", "red", "cyan", "orange", "darkolivegreen2", "purple3", "royalblue", "burlywood4", "orchid", "forestgreen", "green", "gray", "yellow1") plot(geopca, display="sites", scaling=3, type="n") points(geopca, display="sites", scaling=3, col=cols[grp], pch=16) legend("bottomright", col=c("grey0", "wheat", "red", "cyan", "orange", "darkolivegreen2", "purple3", "royalblue", "burlywood4", "orchid", "forestgreen", "green", "gray", "yellow1"), c("Control type 1", "Control type 2", "External/Courtyard", "Midden", "Animal Occupation", "External fire installations and ashy deposits", "Internal fire installations and ashy deposits", "Hearth make-up", "Floors and surfaces", "Plasters and clay features", "Storage features", "Platforms and benches", "Mortars", "Roofs and roofing materials"), pch=16, cex=0.75, bty="n") Thank you for your time in advance Dr Samantha Lee Allcock Faculty of Science and Technology Department of Archaeology, Anthropology and Forensic Science Christchurch House Rm: C133 Bournemouth University Talbot Campus Poole BH12 5BB Tel: 01202 9(62474) sallc...@bournemouth.ac.uk<mailto:sallc...@bournemouth.ac.uk> research.bournemouth.ac.uk/2014/07/inea-project-2 BU is a Disability Two Ticks Employer and has signed up to the Mindful Employer charter.
