Re: st: RE: graph combine & single legend

[Nick Winter <nwinter@virginia.edu>]

I encountered this issue -- that -grc1leg- does not work fully with 
graphs that were created with the -by()- option -- recently.  I've 
hacked away at -grc1leg- to create -grc1legwby- (GRaph Combine 1 LEGend 
With BY), that will work for these plots.  It also works with plots that 
do not use -by-, so it can replace -grc1leg-.

I've submitted it for posting to SSC.  In the mean time you can get it 
from my web site:

net from http://faculty.virginia.edu/nwinter/progs

Perhaps this command also wins some sort of award for its terrible name...

All best,
Nick Winter

When I use -legend(off)- for three of the graphs, and leave the legend for the 4th graph, this 4th graph is smaller than the rest when I combine them. Any solutions will be appreciated.
