qwtimeseries plots - move legends #70

Closed sbmarsh-USGS closed 7 years ago

sbmarsh-USGS commented 7 years ago

The legends block some of the data points on some plots. Can we move them outside the plots? Put them under the lower title or elsewhere? image

@sbmarsh-USGS you should try this one out first. Add an argument to the legend call in the makeTimeseriesPlot function . The argument to move the legend is location and possible values are "bottomright", "bottom", "bottomleft", "left", "topleft", "top", "topright", "right", "center", "below", "toright", "toleft", and "below". If it goes outside of the plotting region, you might need to play with plot margins.

This is where the legend call happens: https://github.com/USGS-R/lakeReport/blob/master/R/functions-qwtimeseries.R#L79-L82

I've tried both of the following with no luck. Nothing moves, it just doesn't work.

legend(pch = c(pch_usgs,pch_usgs,pch_observer,pch_observer), col = rep(c(col_uncensored, col_censored),2), location(center), legend = c("USGS - Uncensored", "USGS - Censored", "Observer - Uncensored", "Observer - Censored"))

legend(pch = c(pch_usgs,pch_usgs,pch_observer,pch_observer), col = rep(c(col_uncensored, col_censored),2), location = center, legend = c("USGS - Uncensored", "USGS - Censored", "Observer - Uncensored", "Observer - Censored"))

:point_up: if that's the exact code you were trying, you should be using location = "center" with the word center in quotes. So close!

Fixed in #77 and #80
