I don't know whether it's "better", but you can construct a legend using graphics primitives & PlotSymbol[]. You can also resize & reposition the legend (using LegendSize & LegendPosition). You might be able to reduce the legend size by using a mnemonic in the key which you can refer to in the text. You might also get some inspiration from Tufte's books (http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/) Regards, Dave. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
