Your mistake here is typing -ring(0)- separately. It is a suboption
of -legend()- and must be typed within a call to -legend()-.

You made a similar mistake here. By adding an extra parenthesis after
pos(5)
you closed the -legend()- call and rendered the rest of the command
illegal. In short, this is not exactly what is in the manual.

There were some typos in the Graphics manual, but these are
not among them. Some are listed at
