is there any possible way how to separate a legend in a plot?
I want have it partly outside and inside the plot. I tried to separate legend which I wanted inside the plot by get_legend (cowplot library) and added as an object by inset_element from patchwork library...Unfortunately, I cannot customize it and need to inner legend with transparent backround.
This is the ggplot code which I am using at this moment:
ggplot() +
geom_point(data = tot_grp, aes(x = soc_wat_m, y = obs_m, size = factor(n_group, levels = grp_n), fill = factor(group, levels = grp)), pch = 24) +
geom_point(data = tot_grp, aes(x = soc_m, y = obs_m, size = factor(n_group, levels = grp_n), fill = factor(group, levels = grp)), pch = 21) +
scale_fill_brewer(name = expression(paste("Classes [",m^-2,"·",yr^-58,"]")),
palette = "PuOr") +
scale_size_manual(name = "N per class", values = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)) +
guides(fill = guide_legend(override.aes = list(shape = 21, size = 5), order = 2),
color = guide_legend(override.aes = list(size = 5), order = 1),
size = guide_legend(override.aes = list(shape = 21), order = 3)) +
labs(x = expression(paste("SOC [kg·",m^-2, "]")),
y = expression(paste("SOC [kg·",m^-2, "]"))) +
coord_equal()+
theme_bw()+
theme(legend.position = "right"
)+
inset_element(p = legend_approach,
right = 0.5,
top = 0.55,
left = 0.95,
bottom = 0.95,
clip = TRUE)
legend_approach is the object from get_legend function
Thank you!
