Subject: Re: [S] Legend/Key in Kaplan-Meier plots
I think you will have to edit the function plot.kaplanMeier to do this.
At the end you will see the lines
if(nfits > 1) {
key(text = names(fits), line = list(lty = lty, lwd = lwd,
col
= col))
}
If you add to the argument list the argument key.ok=T and change
if(nfits > 1) {
to
if(key.ok && nfits > 1) {
then you avoid the key by adding key.ok=F to your calls to plot().
You should not see any difference if you don't add key.ok=T to the
calls to plot.
