One option is to call `legend` twice and do some manual positioning. This worked for me: plot(1:10) legend('topleft', lty=1:3, bty="n", legend=c('','','') ) legend('topleft', pch=c(20,8,1), bty="n", legend=c('clyde','irving','melvin'), inset=c(0.1,0)) You may need to fiddle with the amount of inset for your particular plot and device combination.

I saw that I can specify "merge=FALSE" in the call to legend() but this gives results like unto ----* irving with the plot symbol being immediately juxtaposed to the plotted line segment. I would like a space between them, like so: ---- * irving (See the difference?) I can see no arguments to legend that allow me to effect this. I can adjust positioning of the legend text, but not of the plotted point character or line segment. Is there any way to effect the desired result? Or is there a "simple" adjustment that one could make to the code for legend() that would allow me to accomplish what I want? Ta.
