Attached is legend.pro which I got with IDL 3.0 (I think) in the user_contrib
subdirectory, contributed by Fred Knight. I've added an option for different
line thicknesses and have played around with the character sizes. It's
fairly general though and is what I (almost) always use for this sort of
thing.
Cheers

; Name:
; legend
; Purpose:
; This procedure makes a legend for a plot. The legend can contain
; a mixture of symbols, linestyles, Hershey characters (vectorfont),
; and filled polygons (usersym).
; Examples:
; The call:
; legend,['Plus sign','Asterisk','Period'],psym=[1,2,3]
; produces:
; -----------------
; | |
; | + Plus sign |
; | * Asterisk |
; | . Period |
; | |
; -----------------
; Each symbol is drawn with a plots command, so they look OK.
; Other examples are given in usage and in optional output keywords.
; Usage:
; legend,items,thick=thick
; legend,items,linestyle=linestyle ; vertical legend at upper left
; legend,items,psym=psym ; ditto except using symbols
; legend,items,psym=psym,/horizontal ; horizontal format
; legend,items,psym=psym,box=0 ; sans border
; legend,items,psym=psym,delimiter='=' ; embed an '=' betw psym & text
; legend,items,psym=psym,margin=2 ; 2-character margin
; legend,items,psym=psym,position=pos ; position of legend
; legend,items,psym=psym,number=2 ; plot two symbols, not one
; legend,items,/fill,psym=[8,8,8],colors=[10,20,30]; 3 filled squares
; Inputs:
; items = text for the items in the legend, a string array.
; You can omit items if you don't want any text labels.
; For example, items = ['diamond','asterisk','square'].
; Optional Inputs:
; thick = array of line thicknesses
; linestyle = array of linestyle numbers If linestyle(i) < 0, then omit
; ith symbol or line to allow a multi-line entry.
; psym = array of plot symbol numbers. If psym(i) is negative, then a
; line connects pts for ith item. If psym(i) = 9, then the
; procedure usersym is called with vertices define in the
; keyword usersym. psym(i)=8 uses currently defined usersym.
; N. B.: Choose either linestyle, psym, neither, or both. If neither is
; present, only the text is output. If both linestyle and
; psym parameters are present, they both have to have the
; same number of elements, and normal plot behaviour occurs.
; By default, if psym is positive, you get one point so there is
; no connecting line.
; vectorfont = vector-drawn characters for the sym/line column, e.g.,
; ['!9B!3','!9C!3','!9D!3'] produces an open square, a checkmark,
; and a partial derivative, which might have accompanying items
; ['BOX','CHECK','PARTIAL DERIVATIVE']. If vectorfont(i) = '',
; then plots is called to make a symbol or a line, but if
; vectorfont(i) is a non-null string, then xyouts is called.
; There is no check that !p.font is set properly, e.g., -1 for
; X and 0 for PostScript. This can produce an error, e.g., use
; !20 with PostScript and !p.font=0, but allows use of Hershey
; *AND* PostScript fonts together.
; Optional Keywords:
; /help = flag to print header
; /horizontal = flag to make the legend horizontal
; /vertical = flag to make the legend vertical (D=vertical)
; box = flag to include/omit box around the legend (D=include)
; delimiter = embedded character(s) between symbol and text (D=none)
; colors = array of colors for plot symbols/lines (D=!color)
; textcolors = array of colors for text (D=!color)
; margin = margin around text measured in characters and lines
; spacing = line spacing (D=bit more than character height)
; pspacing = psym spacing (D=3 characters)
; charsize = just like !p.charsize for plot labels
; position = normalized coordinates of the upper left of the legend
; number = number of plot symbols to plot or length of line (D=1)
; usersym = 2-D array of vertices, cf. usersym in IDL manual. (D=square)
; /fill = flag to fill the usersym
; Outputs:
; legend to current plot device
; Optional Output Keywords:
; corners = 4-element array, like !p.position, of the normalized
; coords for the box (even if box=0): [llx,lly,urx,ury].
; Useful for multi-column or multi-line legends, for example,
; to make a 2-column legend, you might do the following:
; c1_items = ['diamond','asterisk','square']
; c1_psym = [4,2,6]
; c2_items = ['solid','dashed','dotted']
; c2_line = [0,2,1]
; legend,c1_items,psym=c1_psym,corners=c1,box=0
; legend,c2_items,line=c2_line,corners=c2,box=0,pos=[c1(2),c1( 3)]
; c = [c1(0)<c2(0),c1(1)<c2(1),c1(2)>c2(2),c1(3)>c2(3)]
; plots,[c(0),c(0),c(2),c(2),c(0)],[c(1),c(3),c(3),c(1),c(1)], /norm
; Useful also to place the legend. Here's an automatic way to place
; the legend in the lower right corner. The difficulty is that the
; legend's width is unknown until it is plotted. In this example,
; the legend is plotted twice: the first time in the upper left, the
; second time in the lower right.
; legend,['1','22','333','4444'],linestyle=indgen(4),corners=c orners
; ; BOGUS LEGEND---FIRST TIME TO REPORT CORNERS
; xydims = [corners(2)-corners(0),corners(3)-corners(1)]
; ; SAVE WIDTH AND HEIGHT
; chdim=[!d.x_ch_size/float(!d.x_size),!d.y_ch_size/float(!d.y _size)]
; ; DIMENSIONS OF ONE CHARACTER IN NORMALIZED COORDS
; pos = [!x.window(1)-chdim(0)-xydims(0) $
; ,!y.window(0)+chdim(1)+xydims(1)]
; ; CALCULATE POSITION FOR LOWER RIGHT
; plot,findgen(10) ; SIMPLE PLOT; YOU DO WHATEVER YOU WANT HERE.
; legend,['1','22','333','4444'],linestyle=indgen(4),pos=pos
; ; REDO THE LEGEND IN LOWER RIGHT CORNER
; You can modify the pos calculation to place the legend where you
; want. For example to place it in the upper right:
; pos = [!x.window(1)-chdim(0)-xydims(0),!y.window(1)-xydims(1)]
; Common blocks:
; none
; Procedure:
; If keyword help is set, call doc_library to print header.
; See notes in the code.
; Restrictions:
; Here are some things that aren't implemented.
; - It would be nice to allow data and device coords as well.
; - An orientation keyword would allow lines at angles in the legend.
; - An array of usersyms would be nice---simple change.
; - An order option to interchange symbols and text might be nice.
; - Somebody might like double boxes, e.g., with box = 2.
; - Another feature might be a continuous bar with ticks and text.
; - There are no guards to avoid writing outside the plot area.
; - There is no provision for multi-line text, e.g., '1st line!c2nd line'
; Sensing !c would be easy, but !c isn't implemented for PostScript.
; A better way might be to simply output the 2nd line as another item
; but without any accompanying symbol or linestyle. A flag to omit
; the symbol and linestyle is linestyle(i) = -1.
; - There is no ability to make a title line containing any of titles
; for the legend, for the symbols, or for the text.
; - It might be nice to force the legend to be placed at hardwired
; locations in the plot, e.g., with keywords like /left/bottom for
; lower left. Allowing this requires knowing the width of the text
; before it is printed, which is difficult.
; Side Effects:
; 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 thick for array of line thicknesses, 14/6/95, Tim Osborn
