[R] Create a plot legend in a new window

[Petr Pikal]

Hi Michael

I cannot find other option than 

1.	to go through legend code and modify it according to your 
wish (especially drawing parts)

2.	to use rect and text for making your own legend 

3. 	experiment with legend settins to produce what you want

Cheers
Petr
