rows(1) pos(5)
title("Legend", position(11))
)
We can add a title, subtitle, note, or
caption to the legend using all the
features described in
Standard
options : Titles
(313). Here, we add a
title()
and use the
position()
option to position it in the top left
corner. A simple way to get a smaller
title is to use the
subtitle()
option
instead.

To emphasize all the control we have,
we could put the subtitle for the legend
in a
box
and use
bexpand
to make it
expand to the width of the legend.

the legend.
