I apologise for an error in my last post. The definition of style12
should have been either
style12 = {
{Directive[{Red, Thick}], "Sin[x]"},
{Directive[{Blue, Thick}], "x^Sin[x]"}
};
in which case the rest of the example works (but the legend may not be
quite what one wants ... ) or
style12 = {
{Graphics[{Red, Thick, Line[{{0.05, .7}, {0.25, .7}}]}],
"Sin[x]"},
{Graphics[{Blue, Thick,Line[{{0.05, .7}, {0.25, .7}}]}],
"x^Sin[x]"}
};
in which case the plot should be made with
plot12 = ListLinePlot[{data1, data2}, PlotStyle -> style12[[All, 1,
1]] ]
