Hi,

PlotLegend will do alright!
I think, that you forgot to evaluate functions in Table. So, to plot sin x,
sin 2x and sin 3x on the same graph with legend you need to do:

In[1]:= <<Graphics`Legend`

In[2]:=

Plot[
    Evaluate[Table[Sin[i x], {i, 3}]], {x, 0, 2\[Pi]},
    PlotStyle -> {Hue[0], GrayLevel[0.6],Hue[0.3]},
    PlotLegend -> {"sin x", "sin 2x", "sin 3x"}
    ]

Again, function should be evaluated first, so Legend command can pick them
up to continue. Legend also uses PlotStyle to draw the legend right.

ShowLegend on the other hand could be good alternative. It's used in other
2D graphics than Plot.

bye, Borut
