Hi All,
I've seen the recent posts regarding the getting of ShowLegend to work
under Mathematica 6. I'm using 6.0.1 under WinXP.
Following what seems to work for everyone:
Needs["PlotLegends`"]
ShowLegend[Plot[x,{x,1,6}],{{{Blue,"xyz123"}},
LegendPosition->{0.8`,0.`}}]
produces NO visible legend text next to the blue box!!???
But wrapping the text string in a Style[], specifying a contrasting
color (against white) works fine...:
ShowLegend[Plot[x,{x,1,6}],{{{Blue,Style["xyz123",Black]}},
LegendPosition->{0.8`,0.`}}]
These evaluations were done with fresh kernel starts with nothing else
initialized or evaluated.
Hummm.
