The legend routine I use actually has a revision history:

; Modification history:
; write, 24-25 Aug 92, F K Knight (knight@ll.mit.edu)
; allow omission of items or omission of both psym and
linestyle, add
; corners keyword to facilitate multi-column legends, improve
place-
; ment of symbols and text, add guards for unequal size, 26
Aug 92, FKK
; add linestyle(i)=-1 to suppress a single symbol/line, 27 Aug
92, FKK
; add keyword vectorfont to allow characters in the sym/line
column,
; 28 Aug 92, FKK
; add /top, /bottom, /left, /right keywords for automatic
placement at
; the four corners of the plot window. The /right keyword
forces
; right-to-left printing of menu. 18 Jun 93, FKK
; change default position to data coords and add normal, data,
and
; device keywords, 17 Jan 94, FKK
; add /center keyword for positioning, but it is not precise
because
; text string lengths cannot be known in advance, 17 Jan 94,
FKK
; add interactive positioning with /position keyword, 17 Jan 94,
FKK
; allow a legend with just text, no plotting symbols. This
helps in
; simply describing a plot or writing assumptions done, 4 Feb
94, FKK
; added thick, symsize, and clear keyword Feb 96, W. Landsman
HSTX
; David Seed, HR Wallingford, d.seed@hrwallingford.co.uk
; allow scalar specification of keywords, Mar 96, W. Landsman
HSTX
; added charthick keyword, June 96, W. Landsman HSTX
; Made keyword names left,right,top,bottom,center longer,
; Aug 16, 2000, Kim Tolbert
; Added ability to have regular text lines in addition to plot
legend
; lines in legend. If linestyle is -99 that item is left-
justified.
; Previously, only option for no sym/line was linestyle=-1, but
then text
; was lined up after sym/line column. 10 Oct 2000, Kim
Tolbert
; Make default value of thick = !P.thick W. Landsman Jan. 2001
; Don't overwrite existing USERSYM definition W. Landsman Mar.
