The
legend()
option permits us to
supply options that control the display
of the labels for the keys. Here, we
request that those labels be maroon,
medium in size, displayed with an
eggshell background, and surrounded
by a box.

The
region()
option can be used to
control the overall box in which the
legend is placed. Here, we specify the
fill color to be a dim gray, the line color
to be a medium gray
(
gs8
= gray scale 8), the line to be
thick, and the margin between the text
and the box to be medium.

We can adjust the margin around the
box of the legend with the
bmargin()
option. Here, we use
t=10
to make the
margin 10 at the top, increasing the
gap between the legend and the title of
the
-axis.
