[ncl-talk] Histogram Legend without lgLineLabelStrings

[Adam Phillips]

Hi LSL,
I wonder if the legend text is being drawn but is off of the plot. Try
shifting the position of the legend by setting pmLegendParallelPosF = 0.1.
(You might have to try different settings.) See example 1 here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/legend.shtml#ex1

Note that legends are not the easiest to draw in NCL using the lg*
resources. If you continue to have difficulty you might want to try the
simple_legend
<http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Shea_util/simple_legend.shtml>
function. See example 16 here:
http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Applications/legend.shtml#ex16

Hope that helps!
Adam
