Well, I was too impatient, and Tim's reply was too late. So now I have an
offering (well 3) to the world.
set_legend will load defaults and accept changes to them that will be
valid for the next set of legends.
put_legend puts draws the line and puts a single line of text. Most of
the positioning can be controlled and is valid for this one line only.
The idea is to call put_legend soon after a call to plot, with the same
linetype/color/psym. This is geared for calls to plot inside a loop.
finish_legend will tidy up and put up a title over the legends if so
desired.
The position of the legends is controlled in units of the plot box. The
horizontal and vertical dimensions (and character sizes) are all in units
of the character heights and widths.
Since the code is less then a week old, it is bound to be buggy. If
interested, e-mail me (although note that my division of Varian has been
sold to Novellus. So I have no idea what will my e-mail address be 4-6
weeks from now :-) ).
