Thank you so much Marteen and Martin for these very helpful suggestions.
I had never used graph editor and knowing how to accordingly change my code is also very helpful so I don't have to do it manually each time.
Very much appreciated!

You can also have a -linegap- in the -subtitle-. Playing around with the
dialog boxes is even more worthwhile for difficult cases...



*************
sysuse auto, clear
gen number=_n

tw(line price number, sort) /* */ (line length number, yaxis(2)) /* */ (scatter trunk number, yaxis(2)) /* */ (scatter weight number), legend(rows(1) /* */ subtitle("Conditional growth" "(11-19 weeks, 19-34 weeks)", /* */ margin(medlarge) linegap(2)))
*************

"Playing around" would tell you that you can place a -margin- around the
-subtitle-


*************
sysuse auto, clear
gen number=_n

tw (line mpg num) (line pr num) /* */ (line head num) (line tr num), /* */ legend(order (4 3 2 1) row(1)) /* */ legend(subtitle("Conditional growth" /* */ "(11-19 weeks, 19-34 weeks)",) /* */ margin(medlarge))
*************

The easiest solution to problems like these is to play around in the graph
editor (assuming you have Stata 10 or 11). In Stata 10, go within the graph
window to "File" and than click on "Start Graph Editor".

Hope this helps,
Maarten

Hello,
I've got a graph with a legend subtitle that spans two
lines, and I wonder how I can increase the gap between these
lines, and also the gap between the subtitle and the legend
symbols below it...

my code at the moment is:

legend(order (4 3 2 1) row(1)) legend(subtitle("Conditional
growth" "(11-19 weeks, 19-34 weeks)")))

I tried just adding blank lines in the subtitle, but it
looks a bit messy...

legend(order (4 3 2 1) row(1)) legend(subtitle("Conditional
growth" " " "(11-19 weeks, 19-34 weeks)" " ")))

Many thanks for any suggestions...
