Thanks! These options work, but this approach is so not obvious to me from the documentation. Under "position," it says

"Set this property to set the location of the legend. POSITION is specified as a 2 element vector: [X, Y], defining the upper right corner of the legend. If the DEVICE property is set, the units are given in device units (pixels)."

OK, the location given refers to the upper right corner. For "vertical_alignment," which I originally thought applied to the text, not the box itself, it says

"The vertical alignment of the legend with respect to the position. This is a value between 0 and 1 where 1 specifies top aligned (the default)."

Given the prior statement, I have no idea what this means. After seeing your examples, I would say that the description of "position" is completely lacking. It should say "upper right" is the default, but that this can be changed using the "alignment" options.

How do you guys learn this stuff, a lot of trial and error? I really appreciate your help.
