Thanks. Your suggestion is helpful.
I also experimented with placing a line-symbol-reference within the
caption. The line-symbol-reference is a legend for the linetypes used
in the plot.
I center-aligned adjacent horizontal underscores behind the
filledTriangle symbol. I did this by nudging the underscores (ALT+left,
etc.) This little exercise was futile. There was extra spaces where
the underscores were and this just seems too difficult. Any hints?
