[ncl-talk] create fewer explicit legend labels in xy-plot

[Tabish Ansari]

Hi Rashed,

Thanks for your reply.

I tried your suggestion but as we might expect, it still drew the all the
legend lines - 3 with labels and rest without any label.
In my case I just want 3 legends.

Let me know if there's a way to do that.

Cheers,

Tabish
