Karthik,
gr1 = Plot[{E^x, x^x, x!}, {x, 0, 3}, Frame -> True,
AspectRatio -> 1/2, PlotStyle -> {{Hue[0]},
{Dashing[{.02, .04}], Hue[.6]}, {Dashing[{.04, .02}], Hue[.75]}}];
legspec1 = Sequence[{{Graphics[{Hue[0], Line[{{0, 0}, {1, 0}}]}], "red"},
{Graphics[{Dashing[5{.02, .04}], Hue[.6], Line[{{0, 0}, {1, 0}}]}],
"blue"},
{Graphics[{Dashing[5{.04, .02}], Hue[.75], Line[{{0, 0}, {1, 0}}]}],
"purple"}},
LegendShadow -> {.1, -.1}, LegendSpacing -> 0];
gr2 =ShowLegend[gr1, {legspec1, LegendPosition -> {1, -.2},
LegendSize -> {.7, .5}}]
The position and dimension options use the Legend coordinate sytem with
origin at the center of the bounding box of the original display, gr; the
unit in both directions is equal to half the longest side ot this bounding
box.
In the resulting display, gr2, the bounding box of gr1 shows as a thin gray
frame when the display is clicked.
LegendPosition -> {x,y} positions the lower left corner of legend box
LegendSize ->{w,h} gives width and height of legend box
LegendShadow->{x,y} gives offset of shadow from the legend box (None , gives
no shadow, and a transparent legend box)
Note that the result will have to fit inside the new image bounding box, but
the aspect ratio of the plot frame of gr1 will be kept the same.
