add legend to a scatterplot with automatic assignment in R





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I'm working withThe AndersonIrisData set.How do i Make a scatter plot With A legend That automatically Corresponds To The filled in Values?



i have



plot(Petal.Length,col=Species)
legend(x="bottomright",legend = c('setosa','versicolor','virginica'))


it makes an incomplete legend



enter image description here

          This works:



          legend(x="bottomright",legend = c('setosa','versicolor','virginica'), 
          col = unique(iris$Species), lty = 1)


          You need to specify both col and lty for it to work. Note that colors will be assigned in the order of unique(iris$Species) so if you were to re-sort iris a different way, your colors may not match.



          enter image description here



          You can also do this with ggplot2 which provides a more friendly syntax for plotting, along with automatically generating legends:



          library(tidyverse)

          iris %>% mutate(ID = row_number()) %>%
          ggplot(aes(ID,Petal.Length, color = Species)) + geom_point()
