Re: Ang: Re: st: Legend with rows and columns in a line graph

[Nick Winter <njgwinter@gmail.com>]

By default, Stata counts the positions from left to right, top to bottom 
(like reading in English).  So position two, in a three-column array, is 
the top-middle, position three is the top-right.  Then the markers fill 
in from there.

the -colfirst- option tells state to count down then across, so you 
could use

 ... legend( hole(4 6 7) cols(3) colfirst)

Note that this reordered the series.
