Cancel that last remark about -legend()- and the -by()- option. It is of 
course the legend contents that must be specified outside the by-option, 
and the legend position that must be specified inside the by-option, if the 
by-option is present. I am planning to set a default for the legend 
contents. The problem is therefore probably not as hard as I thought. (I 
was a bit confused and thinking aloud, and probably need to think some more.)

Best wishes
