Graph legend : assign two symbols to one label

[Nick Bas]

Hi all,

I'm trying to the create the attached graph, but I'd like to consolidate the legend such that, for example, the blue line and blue dots correspond to "steve" only once. I'm not sure how to do this with the legend options. Is there a way of accomplishing this?

I am currently using the somewhat primitive optioning:

legend(order(1 "steve"  2 "steve" 3 "jerry" 4 "jerry" 5 "chris" 6 "chris" 7 "helen" 8 "helen") cols(2) pos(6))

Just had a flash of an idea, which worked.

legend(order(1 "" 2 "steve" 3 "" 4 "jerry" 5 "" 6 "chris" 7 "" 8 "helen") cols(2) pos(6) colgap(0.5))
