I am very frustrated by the Legend package. I have tried using it on and off for several years now, and I am always dissatisfied with its output. The main difficulty I have is with the size of the legend box being too small for the key label I want to use. It works fine for single (or a few) letter labels, but seems to screw up for a label of more than about 10 characters. The box clips the longer labels. I've tried using LabelTextSpacing, etc but it then opens a can of worms trying to balance all the spacings to get a decent label. Does anyone else have these problems with Legend? Are there any easy answers? Regards, Brett Patterson
