Dear All: I have a legend with ten symbols/keys and a relatively long title. I would like the title to be left-justified in the legend box, and for the symbols/keys to be arranged in a single left-justified column. That is, I would like the left edge of the symbols to appear directly under the very first character of the title. I know how to left-justify the title of the legend, and I know how to make the keys appear in a single column, but for the life of me I cannot get that column to appear anywhere but centered under the text. I tried the legend suboption "symplacement," but to no avail. By way of illustration: webuse grunfeld,clear #delimit; twoway (line invest year if company==1) (line invest year if company==2) (line invest year if company==3), legend(cols(1) title("This fairly long title demonstrates my problem:", placement(west) justification(left) size(small)) subtitle("I would like the column of symbols/keys left-justified rather" "than centered, which creates awkward white space", placement(west) justification(left) size(vsmall)) symxsize(*.5)); Many thanks, Dorothy * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
