In order to get the leg_10 plot to work in a panel, I would use the
powerful "overlay" call to make one plot a part of the other.  That way,
when you draw the base plot, you will get both plots.

See the (hurriedly) created leg_10.ncl example that now does a panel.  I
didn't have time to come up with "nice" looking dummy Y curves, so I just
changed a few values to get something out quickly.

You may also want to look at the "simple_legend" function which is
mentioned on the same page.  It should be much easier to create a legend
with this function.
