st: Placement of legend above "note" in -grc1leg-

[Tim Evans <Tim.Evans@wmciu.nhs.uk>]

Hi all,

I'm using Stata 11.2 and trying to combine three graphs using the user-written -grc1leg-, however I'm having a little trouble in the placement of the legend and the insertion of a note. I'm trying to place the legend below the graph and centred and place the note that I want to add to the right and below the legend. Currently my code seems to place the legend below the note and despite attempts to play with "ring" and "pos" options for both legend and note, I just don’t seem to be able to place them in the desired order. I've got an example below. Any help greatly appreciated.

Best wishes

Tim
