Alan,

Sorry - I won't get chance to do a detailed comparison with the octave
legend support before the weekend release. To be honest the legend 
support is relatively basic. Certainly for the x11 driver it doesn't 
work too well. I think your interface is more comprehensive in terms of
flexibility.

I will look at switching the support at some stage to use the new
funcionality.

Andrew
