[R] The "inset" argument in legend().

[Rolf Turner]

I cannot get the "inset" argument in legend() to produce the results
that I want.  It seems to me that when the legend position argument is
set to "bottom" then only the second (y-component) entry of "inset"
has any effect, and when the position argument is "left" then only
the first (x-component)  entry of "inset" has any effect.

I have attached a file "legDemo.txt" which can be sourced to
demonstrate the behaviour that I am encountering.

I thought that maybe if one uses "inset" then one should not specify
the legend position, but that causes an error to be thrown.

I want to have a near the bottom of the plot and to adjust its
position, in the horizontal direction by means of "inset", but nothing
that I try has the desired effect.

Am I misunderstanding something?  Or is there perhaps a bug in
legend()?

cheers,

Rolf Turner
