[proFit-list] script to add stuff to a legend

[Dave]

Hi,
I finally got around to trying this, and I suppose I see the bug. I’m using 7.0.14. The text gets drawn to the left of the legend symbols, and the only way to get them to draw in the correct position is go in and click on each legend in the plots pane of the graph settings dialog. It also renders the text in a bigger size than the original legend.

I did it with a python script:

for r in range(6):
    pf.SetPlotProperties(plot = r + 1, name =  pf.GetData(r+1,1))

Here a simple script that would do just that for the first two curves in the current graph (you can also write the same thing in python if you prefer):
