legend

I have to draw a 20 plots and horizontally place a legends in each plots.

I gave the following command for the first plot:

plot(x=1:4,y=1:4)
legend("bottom",legend = c("a","b","c","d"),horiz=TRUE,text.font=2,cex=0.64)

then for the second plot I tried :

plot(x=1:2,y=1:2)
legend("bottom",legend = c("a","b"),horiz=TRUE,text.font=2,cex=0.64)

But because the size of the character vector passed to legend argument are different I get the size of the legend different.

Since I have to plot so many different plots having varying sizes of legends,I would want to do it in an automated fashion.

Is there a way to do this which can fix the size of the legend in all the plots and fit it to graph size?

I have to plot many lines in GNU PLOT.No problem with the X axis. The problem that I am facing is that most of the plotted lines are at yscale [0-0.05] ,few at range 60-70 and rest at 600-700. These numbers correspond to the y axis scale values. But after I plot I can see only 3 sets of lines all… >>> More
