There are a number of ways to add labeling to plots in version
6. Here are three:
Plot[Tooltip@{x, x^2, x^3}, {x, -1, 1}]
This displays the label when your mouse is positioned over a curve
<< PlotLegends`;
Plot[{x, x^2, x^3}, {x, -1, 1},
PlotLegend -> {"x", "\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\"x\", \"2\"]\)",
"\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\"x\", \"3\"]\)"}]
This gives you a shadow box with the plot labels
GraphicsRow[{Plot[{x, x^2, x^3}, {x, -1, 1}],
Plot[{1, 2, 3}, {x, 0, 1}, PlotRange -> {{-1, 10}, {-3, 4}},
Axes -> None,
Epilog ->
MapThread[
Text[#1, {1.2, #2}, {-1, 0}] &, {{"x",
"\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\"x\", \"2\"]\)",
"\!\(\*SuperscriptBox[\"x\", \"3\"]\)"}, Range@3}]]}]
This creates labels to the side of the main plot
