[ncl-talk] Legend Line orientation

[Alex Schaefer]

Rick,

The legend examples either offer horizontal lines with the different labels being stacked or vertical lines with the labels horizontally spread.  I am trying to get the in-between option:

——FIRE      ——LATENT     ——SENSIBLE

Currently the only way this seems like it will happen is to piece together polylines and text annotations all separately which I was trying to avoid. 

My script is attached.

Thanks,
-Alex
