Re: st: RE: graph combine & single legend

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

Not a problem in itself as -legendfrom()- is not needed.

>> I want to combine 4 graphs, each a plot of three lines, using -graph combine-. Because the legend for the graphs are all the same, I would like to have a single legend at the bottom. When I use -legend(off)- for three of the graphs, and leave the legend for the 4th graph, this 4th graph is smaller than the rest when I combine them. Any solutions will be appreciated.
