Using the
stack
option, we can stack
the symbols above the labels. We use
this here to make a tall, narrow legend.

)
We can use the
position()
option to
change where the legend is displayed.
Here, we take the narrow legend from
the previous graph and put it to the
right of the graph, making good use of
space.

We can use the

option to place
the legend inside the plot area and use
position(7)
to put it in the bottom
left corner, using the empty space in
the plot for the legend.
